PHOENIX, Ariz. – Cue the fireworks.
Marriott Wildfire Golf Club hosts the LPGA American home opener this week, the Bank of Hope Founders Cup, with the game’s top players looking poised to deliver another shootout in the desert.
Sei Young Kim was a human fireworks show here a year ago, winning with a 27-under-par total, equaling Annika Sorenstam’s record for the lowest 72-hole score in LPGA history.
Kim will be looking to repeat against a strong field, with nine of the top 10 in the Rolex Women’s World Rankings, and 16 of the top 20, in the field.
