Anna had already won the Girls Junior PGA Championship and played on the United States Junior Solheim Cup team the year before. Still, her success at the ANWA competition and her bucket hat got the golf world's attention. When she was 16 and won the Augusta National Women's Amateur, she quickly became well-known. Davis has a lot of confidence going into the first round of the AIG women's Open. She beat Ingrid Lindblad and Latanna Stone in the final round with a 69 (3) score, so she has nothing to worry about. The American golfer hopes to win her first major professional event when she plays.
She may be the underdog in this match, but earlier this year, her performance at the Augusta National Women's Amateur suggests she will have a good match and many skills to show.
Sei Young Kim
Kim is the newest golf star in South Korea. A long time ago, the Korean had not won a big tournament until the 2020 KPMG Women's PGA Championship, which she won. Kim finished the round with a score of 63, which was 14 strokes better at par. A month later, Kim won the first Pelican Women's Championship. It was her 17th and 12th win on the LPGA Tour. Kim's 2019 LPGA season ended when Charley Hull beat her by one stroke in the CME Group Tour Championship. In January, Kim was named Women's Player of the Year by the Golf Writers Association of America. Kim is currently ranked second in women's golf, and the Ladies Professional Golf Association has named her Player of the Year.
The Korean pro hopes to get at least a 70 on a par 1 in the first round of the British Open. This will give her more confidence that she can win this trophy.
Stacy Lewis
This week, Stacy Lewis is thinking about the Home of Golf. The American LPGA Tour professional golfer won the Kraft Nabisco Championship in 2011 and the Women's British Open in 2013. After a short time at the top of the Women's World Golf Rankings in 2013, she won the ShopRite LPGA Classic in June 2014 to reach number one.
As a professional golfer, the 37-year-old will do everything she can to get back to her best when she plays against Davis and Kim, both of whom look to be in great shape. As she tries to win the $6,800,000 prize money, Stacy will want to show that she is still at her best.
Expert Betting Tips
Even though Anna Davis did well in the Augusta National Women's Amateur, she will have a hard time beating the more experienced Korean Sei Young Kim, who is the favorite and is at her best. The Korean golfer, who is now third in the rankings and the clear favorite, will beat Anna Davis and Stacy Lewis in this round. Even though 37-year-old American Lewis is getting back into competition, it does not look like she is in the best shape to win this event.
