My field rating for this event is a mediocre 44.5%, up from 40% last year.
My breakdown is 57% from the LPGA Priority List and 42% from the Rolex World Rankings.
The field will be led by top 20 players:
Lilia Vu #2
Amy Yang #6
Haeran Ryu #9
Celine Boutier #11
Jeeno Thitikul #12
Yuka Saso #13
Lauren Coughlin #15

Megan Khang #20
Top ten players skipping the event:
Nelly Korda #1
Lydia Ko #3
Ruoning Yin #4
Jin Young Ko #5
Hannah Green #7
Ayaka Furue #8
Rose Zhang #10
The Monday local qualifiers were:
Gabriella Then (USA) -4
Christina Kim (USA) -4
Other Stuff:
Lydia Ko's victory at the Kroeger Queen City Championship was the third for New Zealand this year, all by Lydia. Only Thailand (4wins by 4 different players) and the USA (11 wins) have more.
Haeran Ryu's top ten finish ties her with Ayaka Furue for the LPGA lead with ten. Both players have teed it up 19 times this year for a 52.6% top ten rate. Nelly Korda picked up her 9th top ten in just 14 starts for a fantastic 64.3%.
The Louise Suggs Rolex Rookie of the Year award has tightend up once again. Mao Saigo still leds with 679 points, but Jin Hee Im's top ten finish last weekend increased her total to 625. Gabriela Ruffles still has an outside chance with 489.
Rolex Movers this week by LPGA players:
Nelly Korda increases her lead over second place with her top ten finish last weekend. She now has been on top of the rankings for 27 consecutive weeks and 64 weeks overall. The 64 weeks on top is 6th all-time.
Lydia Ko remained in third place after her win in Ohio but has solidified that position.
Haeran Ryu moves into the top ten jumping from 11 to 9.
Jeeno Thitikul climbs up from 15 to 12.
Jin Hee Im advances from 47 to 40.
Gaby Lopez bounces up from 70 to 63.
In the all important Race to the CME Globe where finishing in the top 100 is vital for keeping full-time playing privileges for 2025:
Yan Liu improves her position rising from 94 to 87.
Hyo Joon Jang (113 to 89), and Polly Mack (102 to 93) still have some work to do, but have now jumped into the top 100.
Maria Fassi is running out of time, but her leap from 135 to 113 still gives her some hope.
My breakdown is 57% from the LPGA Priority List and 42% from the Rolex World Rankings.
