Wednesday Preview - HSBC Women's Champions

Count on them, Singapore! The LPGA plays their final event of the Pacific Swing this week as the players head to Singapore, the land of...the Singapore people. It's becoming harder to be clever in these opening statements.

Course: Sentosa Golf Club - Sepapong Club. 6,600 yards and sneaky difficult. It won't be as hard as what the players faced in Australia, but it will be more difficult than what they saw in Thailand. Wayward shots get more of a penalty, and the short game will be under a microscope this week.

Strength Of Field: A. 49 of the top 50 19 of the top 20 in the world are here this week, so there is no knocking this field. Normally I deduct for being a limited field event, but it is the best limited field event we have seen so far this season, and likely will again until we go back to Asia at the end of the year.

Extra Tidbits: Last year, Paula Creamer hit a 75 foot putt on the final hole to win in a playoff. You will see and heat about this putt five thousand times this weekend...In Gee Chun gets an exemption into the field this week. She is a top KLPGA star and almost won the HanaBank last year...No player has ever won the HSBC Women's Champions twice. All seven years have yield seven winners...American players have only won two of the last 19 tournaments on Tour. Koreans have won 10.

Fantasy Four:

Lydia Ko - Two wins in two weeks, and there is nothing that suggests she will slow down. Expect Ko to be in my number one spot for most of 2015.

Amy Yang - Playing the best golf of anyone not named Lydia Ko at the moment. Won last week after finishing second the week before. Currently first in the Player Of The Year standings, and while I bet she will be passed by Ko sooner rather than later, I will be interesting to see how well Yang can capitalize on her success.

Stacy Lewis - Former winner of this event who almost won last week. Lewis will notch a ton of top 10s and will likely win a few times this season, but the real success of Lewis' season will ride on the majors and her pursuit of Ko. For now, always expect her on the leaderboard.

Suzann Pettersen - Has started to play good golf again. Limited field events on foreign soil are Pettersen's bread and butter, as seen last week with her T7 finish in Thailand. Starting to become the forgotten player with all these other golfers flying at a thousand miles an hour.

(SLEEPER) Sei-Young Kim - A winner this year, so she barely qualifies as a sleeper. Followed up her victory in the Bahamas with a T5 last week. She was a surprise to a lot of people when she won, but has started to show the game it takes to compete on a week to week basis. Reminds me a lot of Mirim Lee.
