Right now there’s a two-woman battle for the LPGA’s Player Of The Year competition.
Yes, Lydia Ko vs. Ariya Jutanugarn. Four wins vs. five and another title on the line this week in Canada.
Both of the LPGA’s top stars got off to a ho-hum start with two-under par 70s in the first round of the Manulife Classic.
They are only four back of the day one leader — Chella Choi — who opened with 66 at the Whistle Bear Golf Club.
U.S. Open champion Brittany Lang was one of five players who shot 67, five-under par.
Belen Mozo of Mexico was one of the late finishers on Thursday and looked like she would be the leader. She was seven-under par heading into the 18th hole but took a triple-bogey seven and fell back to four-under.
