There’s been a lot of talk this year about LPGA players heading to Japan for more playing opportunities. At one point, it looked like as many as a dozen players might sign up for JLPGA Q-School. Rumor had it even Paula Creamer and Natalie Gulbis were heading East. (That turned out to be false.)

In the end, only three LPGA members will try to gain full status in Japan: Seon-Hwa Lee, In Bee Park and Candie Kung. The final stage will be held Dec. 1-4 at Katsuragi Golf Club’s Yamana Course.
