Lydia Ko and Inbee Park Lead a Strong Field into the First LPGA Major of 2016

Lydia Ko, fresh off her 11th LPGA win will attempt to make more major championship history at the ANA Inspiration. The tournament will be held at the Mission Hills Country Club inRancho Mirage, California on the famed Dinah Shore Tournament Course playing 6,799 yards. At last year’s Evian Championship in France Ko became the youngest player to win a professional major championship – men’s or women’s – since Young Tom Morris at the 1868 Open Championship. Young Tom was 17 years, five months and three days old. Ko was 18 years, four months and 20 days old. Ko still has some time to become the youngest two-time LPGA major winner. Se Ri Pak was 20 years, nine months and eight days old when she won her second major. She has won five of her last 13 starts around the world. She has finished either first or second eight times in that span. But the recent queen of the majors has been Inbee Park. Park has won six of the last 15 majors contested. She has won six major championships since the 2013 season began. No other player has won more than one major in that span.  Can the young Ko make history with by winning her 12th LPGA win at age 18 and capturing another major title?
