Before I get started with this week's tournament, let me congratulate Stacy Lewis for winning the ShopRite LPGA Classic. Stacy won it in style, pulling away at the end and winning by six strokes. It was the 4th consecutive win by an American player, and 6th in the last 7 tournaments. It was the 8th U.S. win of the young season. It will be much more difficult to keep that streak going this week as 2014 winners Paula Creamer, Lexi Thompson, Jessica Korda, and Lizette Salas will not be in attendance.
This week the tour makes its way to Waterloo, Canada for the playing of the Manulife Financial LPGA Championship. Hee young Park won this event in 2013, with a very exciting playoff win over Angela Stanford. You can expect lots of birdies this week as Park and Stanford both shot 26 under par. You would think that playing par golf this week is not going to be good enough, as the cut last year was -3.
This will be tournament #14 of 32 on the LPGA schedule this year.
Here are the key details:
