There are only two LPGA events left before the Tour Championship. This week the ladies return to the Taiwan Swinging Skirts LPGA, where Nelly Korda is the defending champion. It was her first LPGA victory.
While we could argue over storylines this week, I think there are two main ones -- Nelly's defense of her first title and the second LPGA appearance of Hinako Shibuno, aka "Smiling Cinderella." You will remember that she was the surprise winner of this year's Women's British Open... although you could argue that, with three JLPGA wins under her belt (one a JLPGA major, the Salonpas Cup), she shouldn't have been a total surprise.
Then again, this is only her rookie season on the JLPGA. Perhaps I'll call her a mild surprise.
GC's coverage begins Thursday night at 5pm ET. I'm guessing this will be time-delayed coverage since Taiwan is 12 hours ahead of us on the East Coast of the US.
