Who Are The Star Names In The CPKC Women’s Open?
Defending champion Megan Khang returns after beating Jin Young Ko in a playoff last year. Canadian star Brooke Henderson will attract most of the attention as she aims to repeat her 2018 victory on home soil.
Other big names include three-time event winner Lydia Ko and World No. 2 Lilia Vu who recently won the Meijer LPGA Classic.
