Australia's top-ranked player Minjee Lee begins her quest for her first major championship win on the Jackrabbit course at Champions Golf Club in Houston tomorrow.

Lee, the world No. 8 who logged her best ever finish in a major -- third at the AIG Women's Open at Royal Troon this year -- will play with Charley Hull of England and Korea's Hae Ran Ryu on Thursday.

She tees off at 11.37am local, or 4.37am Friday Australian eastern time.

Top Australian amateur Gabriela Ruffels has a star-studden group, playing alongside the 2019 US Women's Open champion, Jeongeun Lee6 of South Korea, and Hinako Shibuno, the 2019 Women's British Open champion. They go at 11.37am on the Cyprus Creek course at Champions.

Perth's Hannah Green, Australia's most recent major winner, is in the next group with Texan Stacy Lewis and Korean Seon Woo Bae.

There are six Australians -- Lee, Ruffels, Green, Su Oh, Sarah Jane Smith and Katherine Kirk in the field.

Fox Sports and Kayo Sports will carry live coverage from 2.30am (Australian eastern time) Friday.
