This week the LPGA moves to the state of Illinois for the playing of the KPMG Women's PGA Championship. Many may remember last year's exciting finish when Brooke Henderson defeated Lydia Ko in a playoff.
Here is my preview:

The first round pairings have now been posted:
Michelle Wie not in the "Players to look out for" list? She's been playing very well lately.
Here are the leaders when round one was suspended:
1 Chella Choi -5 F 1 Amy Yang -5 17 3 Brittany Altomare -4 F 3 Joanna Klatten -4 16
For more scores:
I'm confused. Michelle Wie finished her first round on Thursday - as a co-leader. From what I understand play was suspended today - Friday. No?
Wie was not the leader after Thursday I believe she was tied for fourth. She finished Friday shooting 70 and is tied for 12th.
Here are the leaders after round 2:
1 Danielle Kang -7 1 Sei Young Kim -7 3 Amy Yang -6 3 Jodi Ewart Shadoff -6 3 Brittany Lincicome -6 3 Chella Choi -6 3 Mi Hyang Lee -6
Here are the leaders after round 3:
1 Chella Choi -10 1 Danielle Kang -10 3 Jiyai Shin -8 4 Brooke Henderson -7
Rooting for Danielle Kang....but Chella is solid too!
Here are the final results:
1 Danielle Kang -13 2 Brooke Henderson -12 3 Chella Choi -10
DK made some huge par putts in the final Rd. And her drive and fwy wood into the 18th were clutch!
She should be a lock for the Solheim Cup!
