Hey, it's Sectional Qualifying at Mission Hills, too! Michelle Wie, Stacy Lewis, Shiho Oyama, Miki Saiki, Sun-Ju Ahn, Melissa Reid, Becky Brewerton, Martina Eberl, and many others will be on hand for the 1st round of LPGA Q-School!

There's also a KLPGA showdown between Hee-Kyung Seo, who's won the last 3 events on tour, and Ji-Yain Shin, who got 2 runner-ups on the JLPGA the last 2 weeks. Inbee Park, Na Yeon Choi, Ji Young Oh, and the usual KLPGA suspects (minus Ahn, of course) should also be in the mix!
