LPGA stars racing to make tee times after volcano erupts

The volcanic eruption in Bali has shut down the airport there and left Azahara Munoz and Beatriz Recari in a race against the clock to make their tee times for Friday’s start of the LPGA’s Toto Japan Classic.

Munoz and Recari were in Bali in Indonesia with Jessica Korda and So Yeon Ryu for a Lexus Cup corporate outing this week when ash spewing from Mount Barujari’s volcanic eruption forced the cancellation of their flights out on Tuesday night. Munoz told GolfChannel.com that transportation officials announced that they did not expect the airport to re-open until at least Thursday morning with ash spewing one kilometer high and winds blowing the cloud into the airport.
