As the tournament season begins to wind down for all of the major men’s tours, the LPGA Tour is building to a big finish as the game’s best players eye off a US Women’s Open that will this year be played in December.

Back-to-back US Women’s Open champion 20 years ago, Webb’s last start in the US was at the 2019 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship where after the missing the cut she became the No.1 cheerleader for Hannah Green on her way to a major breakthrough.

Webb has not played a tournament of any note since the ISPS HANDA Women’s Australian Open in mid-February and will no doubt revel in being around the likes of Green, Minjee Lee and Katherine Kirk again.

At the other end of the career spectrum, rising amateur Gabriela Ruffels gets another opportunity to mix in professional company, paired with world No.26 Jessica Korda for the opening round.

There is a strong Aussie contingent on the PGA TOUR too this week.

Jason Day is backing up from The Masters to try and break a two-year winless drought at the RSM Classic at Sea Island where he will be joined by Cameron Davis, Matt Jones, Cameron Percy and Aaron Baddeley for the penultimate event of 2020.
