"This time I am going to be more nervous. Last year I didn't expect anything but this year there are more expectations. This year I just want to do it better, which I don't know if I can because the conditions are not that easy either," said third-year pro Chonlada after her practice round on Wednesday.
The Iowa State graduate also won the CTBC Ladies Open in September and said she had been playing pretty well since last year.
"It's my overall game that is improving," she said. "It's like everything combined together, more game and mental things like that. I play a lot of tournaments and that helps me because you can focus more and you face and experience so many things. That helps you to grow up in golf more."
Shi Yuting leads a strong local charge; the Beijing native won the tournament in 2016 for her first pro title.
Other top Chinese players looking to contend this week include Zhang Weiwei, the 2017 winner, rising star Liu Wenbo who posted three top-three or better finishes last year as a rookie pro, and veteran Yang Taoli, the former CLPGA Tour Order of Merit winner who is on the comeback trail.
Deng Jingfan is notable among the seven amateurs playing as the 16-year-old got into the field with CLPGA member Weng Liting through Monday Qualifying.
Much is expected of teenager Deng as she received a full scholarship from the University of Washington as a 14-year-old and will play for the Seattle-based school starting in 2020.
