Jasmine Suwannapurra and Cydney Clanton return to defend their title at the Dow Great Lakes Bay Invitational, July 14-17, in Midland, Michigan. The 72-hole event features two-player teams competing in both foursomes and four-ball for a $2.3 million purse.
The field includes 12 of the top 15 players in the Rolex Women’s World Golf Rankings and will be cut to low 35 teams and ties after 36 holes.
Clanton spent more time on the Symetra Tour in 2019 than the LPGA when she teamed up with Suwannapurra at the Dow. She’d missed a full card that year by $8. It was a caddie that brought the two together, and they lapped the field by six at the inaugural event. The 2020 Dow was canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Here are 10 teams to keep an eye on in the 2021 edition (Rolex rankings in parentheses):
