Australian Ladies Masters champion Karrie Webb once again is the woman to beat this week as the LPGA moves east for the inaugural $800,000 Takefuji Classic at Kona Country Club.

Webb rallied past Lorie Kane last week to win the prestigious tournament in her home country. She has won both of her LPGA starts and three tournaments overall in 2000 and leads the circuit with $225,000, despite a limited schedule. She also claimed the Australian Open.

Still just 25 years old, Webb already has 18 victories in a mere 100 LPGA tournaments. Her 101st starts Thursday.

Kane will join Hall of Famers Pat Bradley, Betsy King, Beth Daniel and Patty Sheehan in the 132-player field, which also includes 19 rookies.

King won the Hawaiian Open two weeks for her 32nd career victory and fifth in Hawaii. Her first LPGA victory was the 1984 Kemper Open, an event she also won event in 1988 and 1989. She took the unofficial LPGA World Match Play Championship in 1990.

Daniel joins King as the only other player in the field to have multiple wins in Hawaii, taking both the Hawaiian Ladies Open and the Kemper Open in 1990. She and King are part of a group of Hall of Famers that have combined to win 10 of the last 25 LPGA Hawaiian events. Amy Alcott, Juli Inkster, Kathy Whitworth and Sheehan have the other victories.

Webb has never won in Hawaii.

Cindy Flom and Lenore Rittenhouse, who between them have 35 years of experience, attended the University of Hawaii. Rittenhouse is a native of the state.

The Kona Country Club Ocean course on the Big Island is a par-72 layout that measures 6,257 yards. First prize is $120,000.
