This week marks her first start in this event, unlike her playing partner Webb, who is making her 13th appearance. Webb’s best finish came in a share of second in 2009, the year her playing partner Pettersen won the event.

She’s coming off a T-11 finish in Rio where she played in the final group but carded a final round three-over par, 74. This week marks her sixth start in this event, her best finish coming in 2013 when she finished ninth. The Republic of Korea’s Amy Yang, who went by her name of Hee Young during the Olympic games, finished T-4 in Rio.
