I Bless the Rains Down in Africa 🇯🇵
Annika Sörenstam won the TOTO Japan Classic five times in a row from 2001 to 2005. The last four in that run were played at Seta Golf Course our venue this week. The TOTO has been contested at Seta 14 times. The first 12 times, the tournament was a 54-hole event. Since we can’t compare total scoring, let’s look by round. In 14 editions, the winners were 4.8 under par per round. Quick math, we anticipate the winning score to be 19 under par this week in Japan. Since we jetted over to Asia, we have seen Ruoning Yin win the Buick (-25), Hannah Green win the BMW (-19), and Yin (again) win the Maybank (-23). After three weeks, I think these LPGA stars have realized the theme, go low or go home.
