Swinging Skirts LPGA Classic Preview & Pairings

The LPGA moves back to the state of California for the playing of the Swinging Skirts Classic Presented BY CTBC. This is the second year for this tournament. Many of you may remember last year when Lydia Ko birdied the final hole to defeat Stacy Lewis by one stroke. 


Here is my preview of this week's tournament:

yes boy, exciting finish. Especially when lydia placed her layup shot on the wrong side of the fairway. Excellent pitch to land it near pin.

Morgan Pressel's putting really let her down....she had 2 chances to win it....and a 3rd chance to keep the playoff going.....all makeable putts at their level.......

Nice way to celebrate her 18th birthday...congrats to Lydia ko.

Lydia's record this season is exceptional ... maybe even unbelievable. 2 wins on LPGA (3 if you count NZ Open) !
