The LPGA returns to China this week as the golfers will head to Jian Lake Blue Bay Golf Course in Hainan for the Blue Bay LPGA.

It's the second time in four weeks that the LPGA has made a stop in the world's most populous nation.

A total of 81 players will be on hand Thursday for the start of 72-hole, no-cut event - 61 of them members of the LPGA Tour.

Defending champion Sei Young Kim from South Korea and Ariya Jutanugarn of Thailand are the biggest names in a field that also includes Brooke Henderson from Canada, Beatriz Recari from Spain, Pornanong Phatlum from Thailand and Gerina Piller from the United States.
