The Ladies Are Playing Too

While we watch the men tee it up at Jack's Place this week and prepare for the U.S. Open in two weeks, let's not forget about the LPGA. They're playing this week -- the 54-hole ShopRite LPGA Classic -- in preparation for their second major, the Wegmans LPGA Championship, next week.

The ShopRite is played in Galloway, New Jersey, and Brittany Lincicome is the defending champion. This event has 21 of the Top25 in the Rolex Rankings, so it's one of the stronger fields outside a major.

An interesting note I found in the ShopRite pre-tournament notes at the tournament site:

Upping the Coverage…Golf Channel will again extend its LPGA Tour coverage this week at the ShopRite LPGA Classic. An hour and half of air time will be added to Saturday’s telecast (2:30-6:00p.m.ET) and two hours to the final round broadcast on Sunday (2:00-6:00p.m.ET).

Friday will be GC's standard 12:30pm-2:30pm ET broadcast window.

Both Patricia Hannigan and Tony Jesselli have posts about the event, so I'll just link you to them.

Hopefully tomorrow I'll have the June RGWR post ready to go. ;-)
