The LPGA will be moving to Australia this week for the playing of the ISPS Handa Women's Australian Open.
Jessica Korda, winner of the Pure Silk Bahamas LPGA Classic, will be trying to open the 2014 season with back to back wins. The Korda family has a rich history of coming up big in this country as Jessica won this event in 2012, and her father, Petr Korda, won the Australian Open Tennis Championship in 1998.
This will be tournament #2 of 32 tournaments on the 2014 schedule.

Nice Win Karrie! Didn't get to watch much of the event due to the Olympics being on but this sounds like it's Karrie's event.
"She won the Women's Australian Open for the fifth time Sunday, shooting a 4-under 68 in the final round to beat Chella Choi by one stroke.
Webb birdied the 18th hole to take the outright lead, then watched as Choi, who shot a course-record 62 on Saturday to take a share of the third-round lead, pushed a 10-foot putt wide of the hole at 18 to miss the chance for a playoff."
