AIG Women’s Open Preview

The ladies’ Open Championship will be at St. Andrews for the first time in over a decade. Stacey Lewis was the last major champion to hoist the trophy at the Home of Golf in 2013.

Defending champion Lilia Vu will look to win her third major and sixth LPGA career title. She played well at the start of the Olympics but could not put four solid rounds together.

Her back injury kept her out for months this season, but now she appears healthy, which could be trouble for the rest of the field.

This week will feature Gold Medalist winner Lydia Ko coming into this tournament with so much momentum. If Ko plays as well as she did in Paris, watch out; the Kiwi could win another major.

Charley Hull did not have her best stuff in Paris, but she seems healthy again after injuring herself a few weeks before the Olympic Games. She got better as the week went on, and now the Englishwoman has the chance to win a major at one of the most iconic venues in golf.

Nelly Korda will also look to win her second major in 2024 and her seventh victory of the season. She has not had her best form recently but showed some flashes in Paris.

It would be the cherry on top of her season if she won at the Home of Golf.

St. Andrews will challenge the women this week, but whoever can avoid the rough and work with the wind will be victorious.

Stay tuned for Round 1 and 2 Tee times.
