BY Bruce Young | 18 Oct 2012

The LPGA Tour moves from Malaysia to Korea this week for the LPGA Keb Hana Bank Championship at the Sky 72 Golf Club’s Ocean Course in Incheon just west of Seoul.

Not surprisingly Koreans dominate the favouritism with Inbee Park, Na Yeon Choi, Jiyai Shin and So Yeon Ryu all considered genuine chances of taking the title.

Park won last week in Malaysia capping off an amazing run of consistency and Choi has won this event in two of the last three years. They finished first and second respectively last week in Malaysia.

Lindsey Wright, who finished inside the top ten last week in Malaysia, and Katherine Hull are the only two Australians in the field, Karrie Webb preferring to take the week off.
