| Davies will be stealing the spotlight from Australias Karrie Webb
and Annika Sorenstam of Sweden, who are the two players generally
considered the week-to-week favorites on the LPGA tour. |

| Davies already is the only LPGA player to capture an event four
straight times, joining PGA Tour legends Gene Sarazen and Walter Hagen
in that exclusive club. A victory by Davies would also result in a $1
million donation to local domestic violence and child abuse charities on
her behalf by Standard Register PING, The Arizona Republic and
Scottsdale Insurance. |
| What Annika Sorenstam did this year, is very impressive,
regardless of men, women or era. To lead both the European
Tour and the US LPGA is an amazing feat. |
| Neumann was at 10-under 136, 11 shots in front of Davies. A win this
weekend would give Davies the largest single check in LPGA history
thanks to a $300,000 bonus. |
