Lewis and Feng favourites in Dubai
5 Dec 2013 5:06 AM IST
With the European Tour Order of Merit crown already secured by world number two Suzann Pettersen of Norway in just three starts, all eyes will be on the two top-ranked stars in the field.
Both have been on form of late. While Feng has won twice (LPGA Titleholders Cup and Reignwood LPGA Classic) in her last four starts in the past two months, Lewis has not finished outside eighth place in a tournament since the beginning of July. She also won the Women’s British Open this year, her second Major win, and two other tournaments on the LPGA Tour earlier in the season.
The top prize this week is 75,000 euros, making it one of the biggest events on the Ladies European Tour, but the field wears a slightly depleted look. That’s because four players in the top-20 of the rankings, including Pace, are trying their luck at the LPGA Tour Qualifying School, which is being played simultaneously this week in the United States.
While the absent Pettersen is sure to be named number one for the season, the battle for the Rookie of the Year honour is still on.
