Cristie Kerr won the event in 2005 and 2009. … Top-ranked Yani Tseng is skipping the tournament to prepare for her title defense next week in the Women’s British Open. … Second-ranked Stacy Lewis, No. 5 Ai Miyazato and No. 10 Kerr are the only players in the top 10 in the field. Michelle Wie also is playing. She missed the cut in the Canadian Open and has only one top-10 finish this season.
