Wales' Becky Morgan had a season's-best tie for 11th in last week's Sybase Classic and will be out to post another high finish in the LPGA Corning Classic in New York which starts tomorrow.
With the world's top three - Lorena Ochoa, Annika Sorenstam and Suzann Pettersen - all missing, Corning offers one of the best chances to produce a first-time winner.
"I played well last week and it has given me more confidence," said Morgan, who has four top-three finishes but is still waiting her first win in seven years in America.
Scotland's Mhairi McKay, with five second places in her 10 years on the circuit, is another Briton overdue a first victory, and she has good memories of Corning having finished fourth two years ago.
Johanna Head and Janice Moodie are the other two Britons in a field headed by America's world number four Paula Creamer, who has already won twice this season and lost in a play-off to Sorenstam at last month's Stanford International in Miami.
Last year, Creamer finished tied second, three shots behind Kang.
"I'm pleased with my start to the year," said 21-year-old Creamer, who now has six Tour wins. "But I'm always quite hard on myself and go out and try to win every week.
"I have good memories of last year here and it would be great to go one better this year."
