Moanalua High student Tadd Fujikawa, 16, will play in the Frys.com Open, a PGA Tour event that will be played next week in Las Vegas.

Fujikawa received a sponsor's exemption for the 72-hole tournament that will be held at TPC Summerlin and TPC Canyons courses.

"(I'm) pretty excited. Should be fun," Fujikawa said about playing in his fifth tournament as a professional. He has yet to make a cut as a pro.

"I've been working on my game a lot and (I'm) looking forward to playing."

The charity benefiting from the tournament is the Shriners Hospitals for Children.

Fujikawa last played in the Albertsons Boise Open in September and missed the cut by three shots.
