The first of four women's golf majors in the next four months begins Thursday.
The 2020 Women's British Open takes place at Royal Troon Golf Club, and it will be the only major contested in Europe after The Open Championship was canceled due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Hinako Shibuno will begin her title defense alongside a familiar foe in Ashleigh Buhai, who she was paired with on the final day of the 2019 tournament.
To defend her crown, the 21-year-old must play well and fend off challenges from a handful of previous winners, including Stacy Lewis, who is coming off a victory at the Ladies Scottish Open last weekend.
