The winner of ANA Inspiration gets to celebrate with an acclaimed jump in "Poppies Pond", the water that hits the 18th green on Mission Hills.

Annika Sörenstam did it three times (2001, 2002 and 2005).

Before that, Helen Alfredsson had the chance after the victory in 1993, but gave up.

The last of the Swedes was Pernilla Lindberg who in 2018 jumped on foot in the wet.

The audience loves it every time.

The winner of this year's tournament is said to want to cool off after the last putt on Sunday.

Unless the water is too hot.

For the big snack ice the hours before the first rash is neither covid-19 nor the bad air of nearby forest fires, although there will be factors that of course affect, no, the big topic of conversation is the heat.

Last weekend it was closer to 50 degrees in the shade and although the forecast promises slightly cooler temperatures, it is likely that it will never be lower than 40 degrees in the shade.

Caddies can drive golf carts and players can also choose to use their own carts.

All in order not to aggravate what is already the highest priority - the health of the participants, this difficult pandemic year.

The heat is so noticeable that it has been reported by players on Twitter that phones overheat and stop working, when the players have trained.

The player who manages the heat best, and is the coolest when it is decided, wins this year's second major.

It can be Swedish 

Anna Nordqvist is one of the six Swedes who has the best chance of winning in advance.

The routine is superior in the Swedish camp, with eight US wins and a number of fine majors on the merit list.

In addition, Nordqvist in Arkansas showed at the last competition that the shape is brilliant.

She dominated the tournament all the way to the decision, when two bad shots and a nasty putter steered her down to second place.

But the confidence is there, after three days with, among other things, 20 birdies:

- I played really well this week.

But I was not supposed to win, she said after the last round. 

- I bring with me a lot that was positive.

World setter Ko Jin-Young, South Korea, has chosen not to be in the United States for the restart of the LPGA Tour, and it is completely open in the conversation about who can win.

Nordqvist is a candidate, another is world number two Daniella Kan, USA, who was sixth last year and has won two of the latest tournaments this summer. 

It remains to be seen who will make this year's jump in Poppies Pond.

This time without an audience.
