A new Big Three has taken over women’s golf. Inbee Park, Suzann Pettersen and Stacy Lewis have dominated the LPGA Tour this season.    

Park, Pettersen and Lewis have accounted for 12 LPGA Tour wins, including all five major championships this season.

She won her next three starts, the Wegman’s LPGA Championship, Walmart NW Arkansas Championship and the U.S. Women’s Open at Sebonack.

After winning her third consecutive major title at the U.S. Women’s Open, the media pressure on Park became stifling. She finished tied for 42nd at the Ricoh Women’s British Open and tied for 67th at the Evian Championship, and she has only had one top-10 finish in her last eight events.

World No. 2 Suzann Pettersen began her run of strong play last fall when she won the KEB HanaBank and the Sunrise Championships back to back in October.

She continued to dominate this year and has 14 top-10 finishes in her 21 starts. She finished tied for third at the Kraft Nab...
