Wednesday Preview - Fubon LPGA Taiwan

Only four events remain on the LPGA schedule as the players head to Taiwan for the Fubon LPGA Taiwan. It is also the second to last event of the Asian swing.

Course: Miramar Golf Country Club, measuring at a lengthy 6,500 yards. It is the first time this event is being played at this course, but it did host the Swinging Skirt World Ladies Invitational for a number of year, which attracted big fields. Due to the course playing a little longer, general course unfamiliarity, and the chance of bad weather, expect winning scores to be single digits under par.

Strength Of Field: B. Big name players are here, but it is a limited field with 12 TLPGA stars in it, so it's not very deep. Also, Taiwan's Teresa Lu, winner of last year's Mizuno Classic and two time JLPGA winner this season, either didn't get an invite or turned one down, which is surprising. 

Extra Tidbits: This will be the first event played by Inbee Park and Stacy Lewis since Park took the number one spot away from Park last week. Lewis can take it back with a victory, Amazingly, only eight players have ever been number one in the world...Former world number one Ai Miyazato is among the sponsor exemptions for this week. Strangely, she is not playing in the Mizuno Classic in Japan next week, and hasn't done so in a number of years...This is one of the newest stops in the Asian swing, being played for the fourth time. Only the two stops in China have been around for a lesser amount of time.

Fantasy Four:

1) Inbee Park - New world number one is coming off a third place finish at the HanaBank and a second on the KLPGA Tour. She's showing the level of consistency that Stacy Lewis had for most of the season. Has finished inside the top 10 on the LPGA in eight straight tournaments.

2) Lydia Ko - Rebounded from a disappointing event in Korea with a T7 last week. Won the last Swinging Skirt event at this golf course in 2013. She's not as consistent as Park or Lewis, but crops up on a bunch of leaderboards and won twice this season. If the weather picks up and the field starts to bunch, Ko will be the player to watch.

3) Michelle Wie - Returned to action with a T5 and T3 in her last two starts. Longer course should play into her strategy. Putting seems much improved than where it was following the US Open. The stock is rising quickly.

4) Suzann Pettersen - Winner of this event the last two seasons, but this is a completely different layout. Will likely want to turn the page on this season, but familiar surroundings may be what she needs to get a kick start.

(SLEEPER) Na Yeon Choi - It's her birthday this week, so she may be a bit distracted. Had a terrible HanaBank Championship, and is wildly inconsistent, but showed flashes of her former brilliance during the first couple of Asian swing events.
