I have a question I hope someone can answer regarding Japan LPGA golfer Michiko Hattori. I can not read Japanese language news and sports sites so this forum seemed like a good place to make an inquiry. I am a golf fan and I follow the Japan LPGA; I know that Michiko did not finish in the top 50 on JLPGA money list last year for the first time since early 1990's so she did not qualify for the tour this year. I don't think she is retired from professional golf so I wonder if she will still play in some tournaments. Perhaps she will be invited to play, or receive exemptions for some tournaments. If anyone has information or knows of a good English language site that might have more details and news on the Japan LPGA I would appreciate their help. There is almost no coverage of JLPGA events and players on sports sites in the USA. Thank you.
