ALL four 2010 major championship winners and the top 20 players on the LPGA’s money list are present on the marquee for the CN Canadian Women’s Open, which starts in less than three weeks at St. Charles Country Club.

Tournament director Sean Van Kesteren said Thursday the Open’s entry chart is shaping up as planned.

Money-list leader Jiyai Shin of Korea (US$1,211,252), winner of the season’s first major, the Kraft Nabisco, heads the field at the Winnipeg club.

Na Yeon Choi of Korea, Yani Tseng of Taiwan, defending champion Suzann Pettersen of Norway and Ai Miyazato of Japan round out the top five from the money list.

Americans Cristie Kerr, sixth, and Paula Creamer, eighth, are also expected to play here.

Kerr won the LPGA Championship in June, Creamer took the U.S. Open in early July and Tseng captured the Ricoh Women’s British Open 10 days ago ago.

Atop the Women’s Rolex World Golf Rankings, Shin, Kerr, Miyazato and Pettersen are less than a quarter-point apart as the top four, meaning weekly changes are likely heading into the LPGA Safeway Classic (Portland, Ore.) in two weeks and then the CN Canadian in Winnipeg.

Van Kesteren said Thursday that 11 Canadians are entered so far and four more are likely to be handed exemptions, most likely members of Canada’s national women’s amateur team.
