Lorena Ochoa has been drawn to tee off with Paula Creamer, in the first two rounds of next week’s US Women’s Open

Mexico’s World No 1, Lorena Ochoa, has been drawn to tee off with the USA’s World No 4, Paula Creamer, in the first two rounds of next week’s US Women’s Open at the Saucon Valley Country Club in Pennsylvania on July 9.

Also in the three-ball with arguably the LPGA Tour’s two highest profile stars is Korean Kyung Kim.

The draw, which was released to the media at the weekend, has grouped defending champion Inbee Park with World No 3 Jiyai Shin, a young Korean compatriot who looks set to win the LPGA Tour’s rookie of the year award this season, and with US Amateur champion Amanda Blumenherst.

World No 2 Yani Tseng of Taiwan, in the meantime, is set to play with Cristie Kerr, another of the top American contenders, and Sweden’s Ann Nordqvist.

Former British Open champion Karen Stupples, England’s top contender this year, is set to play with Akiko Fukushima of Japan and Meena Lee of Korea while fellow Englishwomen Laura Davies, a former World No 1, will be in the first group to tee off from the first tee on July 9 with Americans Meghan Stasi and Brandie Burton.
