Honda LPGA Thailand Preview & Pairings

[tonyj5]

The LPGA tour moves to Thailand this week for the playing of the Honda LPGA Thailand.

Many of you may remember the startling conclusion of this tournament in 2013.

Ariya Jutanugarn had a two stroke lead going to the final hole, and triple bogeyed the par five 18th.

Inbee Park who had already completed her round, would be the beneficiary of Ariya's misfortune and take home the winner's check.

Yani Tseng was the winner of this event in 2011 and 2012. She also played well in 2013 finishing in 3rd place, just 2 shots back of the eventual winner.

This will be tournament # 3 of 32 tournaments on the 2014 LPGA schedule.

Here are the key details:

I felt excited for you. After you posted yet again about the results of the LPGA in Asia, I saw that you had 3 replies, something that barely ever happens with your other posts. Imagine my disappointment when I saw that all your replies were by you. Well, don't get discouraged.
