Rookie In Gee Chun makes her debut at this week’s Kingsmill Championship alongside two veterans in Brittany Lincicome and Suzann Pettersen. Lincicome is making her ninth start in this event where she has struggled to find success, her best finish coming in a T-23 in 2006. The 2007 champion of the Kingsmill Championship, Suzann Pettersen, returns to action this week for the first time since the LOTTE Championship in mid-April.
Lydia Ko, Inbee Park, Lexi Thompson
Thursday – 8:17 a.m. – 10th Tee
Friday – 1:17 pm. – 1st Tee
World No.1, 2 and 3 will tee it up together in the opening rounds of the Kingsmill Championship. The trio has enjoyed some time off in recent weeks, with Lydia Ko making her first start since finishing T-6 at the Swinging Skirts LPGA Classic. Inbee Park is teeing it up for the first time since the LOTTE Championship in mid-April after battling injury. Lexi Thompson missed the cut in Texas but bounced back with a win last week on the JLPGA.
Ariya Jutanugarn, Morgan Pressel, Yani Tseng
Thursday – 12:55 p.m. – 1st Tee
Friday – 7:55 a.m. – 10th Tee
The newest winner on the LPGA Tour, Ariya Jutanugarn will play alongside Morgan Pressel and Yani Tseng during the first two days of the Kingsmill Championship. Like Jutanugarn, Pressel is also coming off her best performance of 2016, finishing in a share of runner-up behind Jutanugarn at the Yokohama Tire LPGA Classic. However, Tseng has struggled in recent weeks and will look to turn things around this week in Virginia having missed the cut in her last four starts.
Brooke Henderson, Stacy Lewis, So Yeon Ryu
Thursday – 1:06 p.m. – 1st Tee
Friday – 8:06 a.m. – 10th Tee
World No.5 Brooke Henderson, No. 4 Stacy Lewis and No.11 So Yeon Ryu are grouped together on Thursday and Friday, each looking for their first win of 2016. Henderson has come close to breaking through this year, posting nine consecutive worldwide top-10 finishes to start the season. Lewis is coming off her best finish of 2016 with a runner-up finish in Alabama. Ryu will look to recapture the magic she found in Virginia last year where she came up just two-strokes shy of winner Minjee Lee.
Cristie Kerr, Minjee Lee, Gerina Piller
Thursday – 1:17 p.m. – 1st Tee
Friday – 8:17 a.m. – 10th Tee
Two former champions of the Kingsmill Championship, Cristie Kerr and Minjee Lee, will tee it up along with Gerina Piller during rounds one and two. Piller is coming off her fifth consecutive top-10 finish and could learn a thing or two in search of her first victory on Tour by playing alongside Kerr, the only multiple winner of the Kingsmill Championship with three victories, and Lee, the defending champion.
