Laura Davies will be chasing a rare double when she starts out as strong favourite to win the inaugural WPGA Championship over the King's course at Gleneagles today.
Britain's world number one won the LPGA Championship in Delaware earlier this year one of three victories in America this season which has carried her to the top of the LPGA money list.
And she will need only a top 48 finish in Scotland to move to the top of the Order of Merit and strengthen her chance of emulating Annika Sorenstam, who became the first player to top the money lists on both sides of the Atlantic last year.
"It is a chance, but the money list in America is changing almost every week and there is a long way to go before the end of the season," said Davies.
Her main challenger this week is likely to be her Solheim Cup partner Alison Nicholas, winner of the Irish Open at Citywest 10 days ago.
Only four tournaments remain before the European team to face the United States in the Solheim Cup match at St Pierre next month is announced.
The current top seven who will eventually earn automatic places are Marie Laure de Lorenzi, Laura Davies, Lisa Hackney, Lora Fairclough, Alison Nicholas, Trish Johnson and Annika Sorenstam.
