Eight Australians, led by Hannah Green and Minjee Lee, will tee it up at the PGA Championship, the third women's golf major of the year.
Minjee Lee and Grace Kim will be eyeing redemption as the flurry of women's golf majors continues at the PGA Championship in Washington.
Two-time major winner Lee and 2019 PGA champion Hannah Green will spearhead a seven-strong Australian challenge days after being confirmed as Paris Olympic teammates.
Kim, LPGA Tour rookie-of-the-year points leader Gabriela Ruffels, Steph Kyriacou, Sarah Kemp and championship debutantes Hira Naveed and Robyn Choi are also teeing it up at Sahalee Country Club near Seattle from Thursday.
Lee is looking to rebound from missing the cut at last week's Meijer Classic in Michigan where the World No.10 was looking to bounce back from blowing a three-shot final-round lead at the U.S Women's Open, the richest event in women's golf.
She has been thrust into a marquee grouping alongside World No.2 Lilia Vu and exciting young Swede Linn Grant for the opening two rounds.
Vu is fresh off breaking Kim's heart in a tense play-off on Sunday after the Australian squandered the biggest third-round lead of the year, a five-stroke advantage that was wiped away inside four holes.
Kim produced a spirited fightback to even make the play-off, but only time will tell how the 23-year-old responds to a second big disappointment in two months.
The Sydneysider also let a four-shot halfway lead slip at the L.A Championship in April, when Green cashed in to claim her second victory of the year - and third in 13 months.
Green has climbed to fifth in the rankings, the only player other than World No.1 Nelly Korda to register multiple victories in 2024.
