Tseng plays LPGA event for Japan relief

Women's golf world number one Yani Tseng will try to bolster Japan earthquake and tsunami relief efforts when the inaugural LPGA Founders Cup begins on Friday.
Some of the world's top golfers will play for free in the 54-hole event with burner 2.0 irons, which pays no prize money but gives $500,000 to LPGA Foundation youth programs and $500,000 to designated player charities, with the winner directing $200,000 of it to her preferred choice.
Taiwan star Tseng won the Women's Australian Open and ANZ Ladies Open as well as the LPGA season opener last month in Thailand with taylormade burner 2.0 irons.
While researching the charity she would play taylormade burner 2.0 for in this week's unique 54-hole event, Tseng saw the devastation in Japan and chose to support Japanese children through UNICEF programs that provide safe drinking water.
