They face a DuPont course that has some of the thickest rough they will see all year, including the US Women's Open in three weeks. The greens have subtle contours that are difficult to read. Twice since 2000, the winner has shot over par in the final round.
"It's a true test," Sorenstam said.
The challenge for Park is not to get too far ahead of herself. Having won the first major, she is the only one capable of winning the Grand Slam, and many believe that's realistic.
"My goal this year was to win one major, and after winning the first, I changed it to winning two major championships," Park said. "And if I'm fortunate to win this one, I'll switch it to three and go from there."
But she has not lost sight of her primary goal -- replacing Sorenstam as the best in women's golf.
That, too, remains a work in progress.
"I don't know if I can beat Annika this year," Park said. "She's so far ahead of everyone. My goal is to not only catch her, but to get my game higher and better, so that I can be No. 1."
