Will this be the week that Stacy Lewis finds her game and gets back into contention? Lewis is 50% of the United States Olympic golf hopes in the women’s competition and she’s been seriously slumping all season.

Minjee Lee, on the other hand, is as hot as a young player can get and she’s coming into the Yokohama Tire LPGA Classic fully equipped to pick off Stacy Lewis and Ai Miyazato, who briefly looked good at the Kia Classic but has otherwise had a lackluster season.

The Senator course suits Minjee Lee’s game – she’s a down-the-middle golfer who rarely finds trouble but when she does, is quick to get herself back into position. She’ll set the pace in this group.
