Yuri Fudo, who has won the Japan LPGA money rankings title the last five years, and defending champion Ai Miyazato are among the key players appearing at the season-opening Daikin Orchid Ladies next month, organizers said Wednesday.
Also joining the field at Ryukyu Golf Club in Okinawa Prefecture for the March 4-6 tournament will be rising stars Rui Kitada and Sakura Yokomine, who last week placed 17th at the Hawaii Pearl Open -- a men's pro event in Hawaii.
