Preview
At last year’s Evian Championship, Minjee Lee beat Jeongeun Lee6 in a play-off. Minjee Lee won with a score of 64 in the last round.
Korda, who used to be No. 1 and will win the Olympics in 2021, had a rough year. She got Covid-19 in January, which kept her from playing any sports during the off-season. In March, she had surgery to remove a blood clot from her left arm. Korda didn’t go back to the LPGA Tour until June, when she played in the U.S. Women’s Open. A few months before the competition, she wasn’t sure she’d make it.
Lee, who is ranked second, is in almost every major. Lee, who is 26, was born and raised in Perth, Australia. At the 2014 Evian Championship, she played for the first time as a professional. She started playing when she was 10, and in 2012 she won the US Girls’ Junior title. After two years, she was the best amateur player in the world.
The current World No. 1 won her first 2022 tournament, but she hasn’t won one since. Her best major finish was fourth at the U.S. Women’s Open, and in terms of total strokes gained, she’s in the top five. The Evian, which Ko, 27, won in 2019, should go to the Player of the Year in 2021.
In 2022, the LPGA Tour’s best player is a 25-year-old from Colorado. The Chevron Championship was one. If she wins in France, she will be the first American to win two majors in one season since Juli Inkster in 1999.
Minjee Lee (U.S. Women’s Open), Jennifer Kupcho (Chevron Championship), and In Gee Chun (KMPG Women’s P.G.A. Championship). The last major event is the AIG Women’s Open.
