Here are five storylines to follow this week at the $1.5 million ShopRite LPGA Classic on the Bay Course at Seaview Resort in Galloway Township.
Can Tseng continue her dominance?
Yani Tseng, the world's No. 1 women's player, won three of the LPGA's first five tournaments this year. Her last victory came March 26 at the Kia Classic in Carlsbad, Calif. Tseng was troubled by putting woes at the Sybase Match Play Championship last weekend and lost in the third round.
Can past Classic champions succeed again?
The field features six players - Janice Moodie (2000), Seon Hwa Lee (2006), Cristie Kerr (2004), Angela Stanford (2003), Ai Miyazato (2010) and Brittany Lincicome (2011) - who have won the Classic before. Can they duplicate their past success on the Bay Course? Miyazato and Stanford won events this year.
Can Michelle Wie find her game?
Once billed as the future of women's golf, Michelle Wie, 22, has struggled in 2012. She has missed three straight cuts and her best finish is a tie for 38th at the Honda LPGA Thailand.
Americans to watch
Stacy Lewis held off Lexi Thompson to win the last LPGA full-field event - the Mobile Bay LPGA Classic on April 29. Lewis shot a final-round 69, while Thompson shot 65. Can the duo build on that momentum this week?
South Korean players
Players from South Korea can never be overlooked when the LPGA plays. Three of the world's top-10 players are from South Korea, including No. 2 Na Yeon Choi and No. 8 I.K. Kim. Both will tee it up at the Classic as will No. 14 Sun Young Yoo, who in April won the LPGA's first major of the season - the Kraft Nabisco Championship.
