LPGA: Toto Japan Classic Five Top Seeds
With Lydia Ko and Inbee Park both taking a break, Stacy Lewis is the top-ranked player in the Toto Japan Classic field and I’m seeing her as the favorite to win this one.
Lewis has had a week’s rest, she’s sorted out her ball dilemma, she has a consistent game, and she’s tired of runner-up. There have been six of them — and that’s enough!
We can count on Lewis to deliver the very best game in her bag with every shot, and but for a bad lie or a fractionally misdirected putt she’d have claimed a number of victories this year. There’s that tortured relationship all golfers have with Lady Luck in play. Players like Lewis, who keep coming back, who stay positive, who don’t let the game beat them up emotionally, eventually prevail.
Look for Stacy Lewis to push herself to the limit this week.
