The LPGA Tour is abandoning traditional stroke-play this week for a match-play event: the Bank of Hope LPGA Match-Play. Two French women are lined up for the tournament: Pauline Roussin-Bouchard and Perrine Delacour.

The players of the LPGA Tour have an appointment this week for the Bank of Hope LPGA Match-Play, which is played as its name suggests, in match-play. It is only the second edition of this tournament which crowned Ally Ewing last year. It is the golf course of Shadow Creek, in Las Vegas in Nevada, which hosts this competition of the LPGA Tour. This par 72 of 6804 yards will offer 500 points to the winner for the Race to CME Globe and a total prize pool of 1 dollars.

Pauline Roussin-Bouchard and Perrine Delacour will be the only French women engaged during this week in Las Vegas.

The youngest of our two French Pauline Roussin-Bouchard will play her first match against the Japanese Ayaka Furue, 27th player in the world. The blue rookie will start at 10:40 a.m. local time for this duel. She will face Carlota Ciganda and Angel Yin in her other two pool matches.

Perrine Delacour will face the American Mina Harigae, 51st in the world ranking. Their game will be played at 12:10 p.m. His other two group matches will pit him against Georgia Hall and Annie Park.

Minjee Lee, leader of the Race to CME Globe since her victory two weeks ago in New Jersey, will face Korean Youngin Chun for her first round.
