With the wrap of last weeks Gainbridge LPGA at Boca Rio, most of the LPGA players took advantage of this week off to pack and fly down under to Australia for a 5 week swing which also contains stops in Thailand, Singapore and China.
We are awaiting word on what effect the fires ravaging Australia, and the worrying out break of coronavirus in central China will have on players making the trip.
Madelene Sagstrom from Sweden capped a career week with her first LPGA win after little Nasa Hataoka from Japan missed a 3 footer for a playoff on the final hole. Sagstrom won 3 times on the Symetra Tour last year to graduate. Brooke Henderson 72 68 68 73 -7 T15.
Inbee Park is playing in the ISPS Handa Vic Open for the first time. Alena Sharp is the lone Canadian. Brooke Henderson WD due to illness last year, and is not in the field this year.
Here is the schedule for the next 5 weeks.
ISPS Handa Vic Open, Victoria (Celine Boutier) February 6-9
ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open, Grange, South Australia (Nelly Korda) February 13-16
Honda LPGA Thailand , Chonburi (Amy Yang) February 20-23
HSBC Women's World Championship, Singapore (Sung Hyun Park) February 27
Blue Bay LPGA, China (Gabby Lopez) March 5-8
