WASHINGTON: Top-ranked teen Lydia Ko, world number two Park In-Bee and third-ranked Lexi Thompson will play alongside one another when the LPGA Kingsmill Championship opens on Thursday (Friday in Manila).

New Zealand’s Ko won her second major title in a row in March at the ANA Inspiration and the 19-year-old Seoul-born Kiwi has also captured the Kia Classic and New Zealand Women’s Open crowns this year, but she has not played since sharing sixth at the Swinging Skirts LPGA Classic last month.
