Moriya siblings get Kraft invite

The Moriya sisters have been invited to play the Major Kraft Nabisco Championship from March 29 to April 1 in California.

 

Ariya and her elder sister Moriya will join Thai No 1 Pornanong Phatlum in the tournament at the Mission Hill Country Club. Ariya, 16, and Moriya, 18, received the invitation on the back of outstanding performances in 2011, being the reigning world junior No 1 and 2 respectively. The younger Ariya won three amateur events last year while her sister won two.
Ariya hit three-over 291 to finish joint 25th in the 2011 edition, which was held at the Dinah Shore Course, while Pornanong hit 16 over for tied 72nd place.
