But the threat isn't Inbee. It's Lydia Ko.
Alright, here's the deal: You might think that Inbee would have the best chance to retake #1 since she's closer to Stacy than Lydia is. Here are the current point standings:
- 10.33 -- Stacy Lewis, 55
- 9.52 -- Inbee Park, 59
- 9.21 -- Lydia Ko, 32
What this means is that Lydia can take over the #1 spot if she wins the Manulife Financial LPGA Classic and Stacy finishes in 8th place or worse. However, I wouldn't bet on that. This is only the Manulife's 3rd year, and Stacy finished T5 and T6 in the first two.
Doesn't look that promising for Lydia... but that's why they play the tournament.
The Manulife will be broadcast on GC starting at noon ET today. Both of the previous winners needed playoffs to win and last year's winning score was -26, so this could end up being a real shootout.
