The LPGA is the headliner this week in professional golf. Sure, there is the BMW PGA Championship, but there is a way to watch both the men and women.
There is no PGA Tour event, so many top male players chose to participate in a DP World Tour event. With that tournament five hours ahead of the East Coast, fans can drink coffee with the men and finish their afternoon with the women.
A stout female field is in Ohio for the Kroger Queen City Championship.
The first round begins Thursday morning as defending champion Minjee Lee looks to hold onto her title. She defeated Charley Hull last year in a two-playoff hole at Kenwood Country Club.
After such an incredible Solheim Cup performance in the nation’s capital, 11 of those girls made the trek to Ohio and will tee it up. Among those 11 ladies are Hull, Georgia Hall, Nelly Korda and Rose Zhang.
This week could see Hull do something special because that Sunday’s singles match was beyond impressive. She dominated Korda and made quite the statement, which should carry over into this week’s event.
It is Hull’s time to shine.
