RANCHO MIRAGE, Calif. (AP) -- Spanish golfer Azahara Munoz received an amateur exemption to the Kraft Nabisco Championship in April, the year's first women's major.

Munoz, who attends Arizona State University, won the U.S. college title beating Tiffany Joh on the first hole of a playoff. Joh, who won her second U.S. Women's Amateur Public Links, was also invited to the Kraft Nabisco from April 2-5.

Munoz was also runner-up at last year's U.S. Women's Amateur to Amanda Blumenherst, who was also invited to the major.
