LYTHAM ST. ANNES, England – Where are the American stars?

Nowhere to be found on the Ricoh Women’s British Open leaderboard.

Lexi Thompson skipped the championship to “recharge my mental batteries.”

Michelle Wie withdrew in the first round with a right hand/wrist injury and will be out recuperating for awhile.

Stacy Lewis and Gerina Piller are out on maternity leave.

Paula Creamer and Morgan Pressel failed to qualify for the championship.

Danielle Kang, the last American to win a major, missed the cut. So did major championship winners Brittany Lincicome and Brittany Lang.
