The LPGA returns to Japan for the 36th edition of the Mizuno Classic held at Kintetsu Kashikojima Country Club in Shima-Shi, Mie. Throughout the years, several of the LPGA’s best have captured victories in Japan including; Nancy Lopez, Pat Bradley, Betsy King, Annika Sorenstam and a pair of former champs who are in the field this week, Karrie Webb and Stacy Lewis.
“I enjoy playing in Japan,” Webb said. “I think the Japanese fans are some of our greatest fans. They are very respectful of the game of golf and of us. I’ve always enjoyed playing here and having won here before gives me good memories coming back every year.”
As in the past, members of the JLPGA have been invited to compete in this year’s event as 35 members, including defending champion Teresa Lu and former Mizuno Classic winners Momoko Ueda and Jiyai Shin, will be teeing it up among the LPGA’s best.
Current JLPGA members have had the upper hand at the tournament of late, as five of the last seven winners of the Mizuno Classic currently call the JLPGA their home Tour. Looking to end that run will be a strong contingent of 43 LPGA players led by Lewis and Webb.
