HSBC Women's Champions Preview & Pairings (Singapore)

This week the LPGA moves to Singapore for the playing of the HSBC Women's Champions. 

This tournament was won in 2015 by Inbee Park, who held off the charging Lydia Ko for a two stroke victory.

Here are the leaders after round 1: 

1 Minjee Lee -5 
2 Candie Kung -5
3 Suzann Pettersen -4
3 Lee-Anne Pace -
3 Mika Miyazato -4

163cm ha Na Jang. Reached the final 18th hole par 5 in 2 and made it an eagle for day for a deserving champion with -19.  It's scary when the pros are on fire. 

At the same time, former world no 1 , yani tseng finished +12 ending up one of the last few. This game is so competitive at their level.

Our very own Koh Sock Kwee & Michelle Wie finished +10 and +9 respectively. 

It is so difficult to predict the eventual top 3 even after 1st & 2nd rounds were played.

Keep a lookout for rookie….Brooke Henderson. 

She is a force to reckon with and with a good heart to boot.
