Course: Blythefield Country Club. Measures at 6,400 yards. I know nothing about this course, as it will be the first time the LPGA will be playing in Michigan since 2000.
Strength Of Field: B-. 9 of the world's top 10 are playing, with 17 players from the International Crown teeing it up, but that does not include So Yeon Ryu, Na Yeon Choi, Yani Tseng, or Carlota Ciganda.
Extra Tidbits: Michelle Wie is looking to rebound this week after missing two straight cuts on the LPGA Tour. Prior to the Women's British Open, Wie didn't miss a single cut this season...Michigan State's Lindsey McPherson and University of Michigan's Grace Choi are the sponsor exemption this week. The Monday qualifiers are Carling Nolan and Paula Hurtado...For the first time in a long time, the number one ranking is not up for grabs. Stacy Lewis has a large enough lead over Lydia Ko that Ko can not pass Lewis, no matter the outcome of this week.
Fantasy Four:
ShanShan Feng - Is one great round away from closing the deal on career victory number 4. Has played some high quality golf this season. New course for everyone in the field could be an equalizer. If she's going to win, now may be the best opportunity to do so.
Azahara Munoz
Beatriz Recari
Belen Mozo - On the heels of their victory at the International Crown, I feel as if it is only fitting to give these three a spot in my team this week. Their Solheim Cup victory last year didn't give the European players a huge lift, but perhaps the national pride will jolt the Spanish players towards more success.
