Honolulu's Michelle Wie played the Omega last year and missed the cut with rounds of 79-78.

Fujikawa, 16, leaves tomorrow morning for Switzerland. He was invited by tournament owner Christian Barras, who also owns Crans-sur-Sierre, the site of the tournament. It is a Jack Nicklaus course located in the Swiss Alps. A world famous ski resort, Crans-Montana is on a plateau above the Rhone Valley and has a view of the mountain peaks from the Matterhorn to Mont Blanc.

Fujikawa will play in Monday's Pro-Am. The tournament is from Thursday to Sunday (Sept. 6 to 10). Barras has asked Fujikawa to participate in next Sunday's trophy presentation.

In February, the Moanalua junior became the youngest in 50 years to make a PGA Tour cut. Fujikawa finished 20th at the Sony Open in Hawai'i, won the Hawai'i Pearl Open soon after and turned pro in July. He has missed the cut at his first two professional events, the PGA Tour's Reno-Tahoe Open and last week's Jane Rogers Championship on the Canadian Tour.
