Players to look out for in Washington

The KPMG Women’s PGA Championship’s star-studded players’ list asks only one question: who is going to win? Even with the increasing concerns about Nelly Korda’s exhaustion and a streak of bad plays, her fandom is not ready to root for someone else. She did clinch the season’s first major beautifully and has won 6 times so far this season.

Last year, Lilia Vu showed a stellar streak and even bagged two major wins. Hence, her presence on the greens is something one should not miss out on. She did finish at T1 at the Meijer LPGA Classic and is coming to the greens with a winning momentum.

On the other hand, Charley Hull might have lost her golf bag on British Airlines, but her skills and potential in the upcoming event will be closely reviewed by both her fans and her opponents. Another player to look out for this season is Lexi Thompson. As she had announced her retirement after the season, the fierce golfer will surely be at her best to fight for her rank at this event.

Nonetheless, one should not rule out the defending champion, Ruoning Yin who scored 8 under par last year and won with a 3-stroke margin of victory.
