VANCOUVER — If it wasn't for Vancouver, Lydia Ko might never have become a 19-time LPGA Tour winner.
Ko is back in the field at the CPKC Women's Open, a tournament she has won three times, including her first two victories on the LPGA Tour when she was still an amateur. She said that winning at Vancouver Golf Club in Coquitlam, B.C., in 2012 was instrumental to her development as one of the most successful players in LPGA Tour history.
The New Zealander won by three strokes in 2012 then defended her crown the next year at Edmonton's Royal Mayfair Golf Club, winning by five strokes while still an amateur. Rose Zhang of the U.S. will make her CPKC Women's Open debut on Thursday. She won the Mizuho Americas Open on June 4 shortly after turning pro and is playing in just her seventh LPGA Tour event since leaving the NCAA ranks.
EPSON TOUR — Selena Costabile of Thornhill, Ont., is the lone Canadian in the field at the Circling Raven Championship in Worley, Idaho. She's 58th on the second-tier tour's money list.
