Theres a good field in Taiwan, with six of the top 10 and 14 of the top 20 in the world rankings competing.Jutanugarn, the Rolex Player of the Year last season, took the No. 1 ranking from Ko in June after winning the Manulife Classic. Since then, however, Jutanugarn has missed the cut or withdrawn in six of nine starts and slipped to No. 7 in the world.I feel good because Im not thinking about the outcome, Jutanugarn said. Not expecting anything. Just go out, hit the ball and thats it.Ko, who has slipped to No. 9 in the world, is seeking her 15th LPGA title, her first in 15 months. She contended at both the Indy Women in Tech Championship and Evian Championship last month, finishing second in Indianapolis and tying for third at Evian.Ko won the Swinging Skirts twice when it was played in San Francisco.
