Ricoh Women's British Open Preview, Pairings, and Lots More
 

This week the LPGA travels to England for the playing of the Ricoh Women's British Open. I.K. Kim will be trying to defend the title she won last year in Fife, Scotland. I.K.'s final round 71 was good enough to top a charging Jodi Ewart Shadoff (she shot a final round 64) by two strokes.

Here is my preview and lots more:

It looks to me that Lydia Ko has lost a lot of weight. While that is usually looked as good, it sometimes has a negative effect on a player's golf swing.

Yes Lydia has trimmed down quite a bit.
