Five To Watch

These five golfers are ones to watch this week as contenders to win the tournament:

Lydia Ko

The defending champion comes in with something to prove as her 85week run as the No. 1 golfer in the world ended last week.

Ariya Jutanugarn

Has moved to No. 1 in the Rolex Rankings after winning the Manulife LPGA Classic. The 21-year-old from Thailand won five times in 2016.

Stacy Lewis

The former Arkansas All-American won this event in 2014 en route to winning Player of the Year honors. She has not had a tour win since.

So Yeon Ryu

Opened season strong and has played at high level. Has historically played well here with three top 10 finishes in past five starts.

Michelle Wie

Quietly putting together a solid season with four top 10 finishes. After a tough 2016 season that saw her miss the cut in 11 events, she may be on the verge of a breakout season.
