My Field rating for this event is a solid 60.5%. This is an inaugural event.
My field rating is 61% from the LPGA Priority List and 60% from the Rolex Rankings.
The field will be led by top ten players:
Ruoning Yin
Jin Young Ko
Celine Boutier
Nelly Korda
Lydia Ko
Allisen Corpuz
Top ten players skipping the event this week:
Lilia Vu
Minjee Lee
Hyo Joo Kim
Charley Hull
Other stuff:
Minjee Lee's win this past weekend was the 11th tournament this year decided by a playoff.
Minjee's win was the fourth by an Australian golfer this year, tying them with Korea for second place. The USA leads with nine victories.
Atthaya Thitikul's top ten finish was her 11th of the year. No other player has more than nine.
Hyo Joo Kim has fifteen top 25 finishes this year, which leads the tour.
Chanetee Wannasaen was a winner earlier this year in Portland. In her other 17 tournaments this year, she has failed to finish higher than 48th!
There were some notable moves in the Rolex Rankings this week:
Minjee Lee made the most important move, jumping from 7 to 4.
Lydia Ko jumped back into the top ten 13 to 9.
Angel Yin continued rising with a move from 25 to 21
Alison Lee made the biggest move 66 to 41
Jeongeun Lee6 rose from 99 to 76
Pajaree Anannarukarn jumped 88 to 81
Sarah Schmelzel leaps up 102 to 85.
Outside the top 100, Lauren Coughlin surges up from 117 to 104
In the all important race to the CME Globe where you need to finish in the top 100 to secure full playing privileges for 2024, this is how it is shaping up:
96 - Paula Reto (her victory last year has her safe for 2024)
97 - Dani Holmqvist
98 - Mina Haragae
99 - Maddie Szeryk
100- Azahara Munoz
On the outside:
101 - Lydia Ko (her victory last year has her safe for 2024)
102 - Kelly Tan
103 - Wei Ling Hsu
104 - Jeongeun Lee5
105 - Emma Talley
It is also important to finish in the top 60 of the Race to the CME Globe so you can compete for the 2 million dollar first place prize in the CME Championship later in the year.
Alison Lee made it this week jumping from 58 to 31
Patty Tavatanakit inched up 60 to 59
Sarah Schmelzel (67-62), Lauren Coughlin (71-65), improved thier chances.
Eun-Hee Ji is barely hanging on after dropping 59 to 60.
