SINGAPORE: Two-time LPGA major champions Stacy Lewis and Brittany Lincicome worry the growing coronavirus outbreak that forced three Asian events to be cancelled will wipe out the Tokyo Olympics and other tournaments.

The LPGA, which has played two US tournaments and two others in Australia this year, cancelled a February event in Thailand, another that would have been played this week in Singapore and one planned for next week in China.
