NAPLES, Fla. Jet lag? What jet lag?For the 38 players who flew nearly 15,000 miles from last weeks Blue Bay LPGA event in China to this weeks CME Group Tour Championship in Naples, fatigue was a concern.Even with Blue Bay ending on Saturday, jet lag figured to be an issue.But you wouldnt know it looking at the leaderboard.Amy Olson was among players making the long flight from China, and she opened with a 9-under-par 63 Thursday, moving her into a tie for the lead at Tiburon Golf Club.Is she immune to jet lag?I dont know, Olson said. This is actually the first day I slept to my alarm. So, that was nice to get a good nights sleep. It helps to have a tournament, just to get back on schedule.

Will players be tempted to play fewer events on that swing, to conserve some energy for the big payday in Naples?With the Race to the CME Globe overhaul, the season-long points race will only be used to determine the top 60 who will earn invites to the CME Group Tour Championship. Once the event begins in Naples, the points will be scrapped, with everyone in the field having a chance to win the $1.5 million winners check.CME Group CEO Terry Duffy was asked whether his big payday may hurt the Asian swing.This is going to bolster the last three events in Asia, because if you're sitting there at No. 100, you want to figure out how to get to be No. 60 by participating in these events, knowing there is a million-five a week later, Duffy said. So, youll take the jet lag and play hard at these last couple events. I think it's really going to help bolster some the other events.
