LPGA's first major sticks with tradition by adding a pool for the winner's leap at Chevron

The LPGA is trying to stick with tradition at the first major of the year.

The Chevron Championship starts Thursday at Memorial Park in Houston.

It doesn't have water on the 18th hole.

That's important because this major is famous for the winner taking a plunge.

That's how it was in the California desert before moving to Houston a few years ago.

Officials have built a small pool by the 18th green.

Nelly Korda is among the favorites.

She's played in the final group in all four of her tournaments this year.

Jeeno Thitikul is aiming for her first major.
