The field is set for the LPGA’s Kia Classic Presented by J Golf and Paula Creamer is noticeably absent. Creamer still is searching for a support brace for her left thumb, which she first injured last summer hitting out of the rough. She withdrew from the season-opening event in Thailand last month and has been resting in her Orlando, Fla., home the last several weeks.
The Kia Classic in Carlsbad, Calif., is the first domestic event on the LPGA schedule, and world No. 1 Lorena Ochoa headlines the field. Ai Miyazato, however, might command the most media attention as she aims for her third consecutive victory. Other big names headed to Carlsbad include Michelle Wie, Cristie Kerr, Suzann Pettersen and Jiyai Shin.
