Jet lag: Will CME overhaul help or hurt the Asian swing?

NAPLES, Fla. – Jet lag? What jet lag?

For the 38 players who flew nearly 15,000 miles from last week’s Blue Bay LPGA event in China to this week’s CME Group Tour Championship in Naples, fatigue was a concern. Even with Blue Bay ending on Saturday, jet lag figured to be an issue.

But you wouldn’t know it looking at the leaderboard.

Amy Olson was among players making the long flight from China, and she opened with a 9-under-par 63 Thursday, moving her into a tie for the lead at Tiburon Golf Club.

Is she immune to jet lag?
