Min Young Lee will defend her first JLPGA win starting on Thursday. As usual, they will have an eight-hour webcam running for every round starting at 8 AM (Japan time) here: www.ylok2018.tv/Regular TV for Saturday and Sunday only (Japan time): CS broadcasting 8: 00 ~ 13: 00 (Sky A) BS Asahi 13: 00 ~ 16: 00 I have no links for the above channels, but it shouldn't matter with the webcam broadcast running. |

Didn't Min Young Lee qualify for ANA Inspiration by finishing 2nd on 2017 JLPGA money list?
I guess she doesn't want to forfeit all or part her earning if she doesn't defend her title.

I don't know the JLPGA regulations on this. It's the KLPGA who has the alleged rep for dishing out "punishment" to players who don't defend their championships. |

I can't find it; but I read that JLPGA is the same as KLPGA in that regard. |

Team Yamaha...the big three are in the middle (L-R): Mami Fukuda (grey jacket), Chie Arimura, and Chae Young Yoon. One notable change is the absence of Kaori Ohe, who defected back to Callaway after three seasons with Yamaha.  |

Shin Hyun Ahn is a sponsor invite...she used a Yamaha driver in 2016 & 2017...don't know about the rest of the bag. She's grouped with Jae Eun Chung and Megumi Kido the first two days.  Crisis in Japan: Momoka Miura fighting off hay fever.   That's better  Eight Head getting ready   |

The webcam just kicked in and it's working perfectly. Q: When was the last time Shi Hyun Ahn played in Japan? A: I don't know, but did some research...she last played the LPGA Mizuno Classic in 2009 (T-29). It's possible that she could have been invited to a JLPGA major long ago, but that's too much work to look up. Bad start for Cinderella (+3 after four holes). She started on #10, so we'll get to see her tee off at #1 later in the evening.   |

My PC just freaked out and restarted on its own...when I re-ran the streaming on Mozilla, it just crawled, so I switched over to MS Edge where it's running well again...I'm doing it with the direct Youtube link: www.youtube.com/watch?v=0USlOacv2wUAll the mornings groups are out there...they've switched to the 14th green...new groups will begin their day at #1 tonight at 10:24 PM EST. The par-4 first green is quite firm...Hae Rym Kim had the shortest 2nd shot with an iron and her ball rolled off the back. Kana Nagai started at #10 and aced #11...she leads at -3 thru five holes.   |

The Round Two webcam is working here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bfi9hGjD4tsInstead of setting up at #1 again, they moved it to #10. The last morning group will start at #10 in a few minutes, which will include one of my favorites Weiwei Zhang. Ah Reum Hwang and Karis Davidson   |

If BML and Sky stumble, then Kana Nagai will be the new queen of Honma....she is like money, you can't get enough of her. Before she teed off at #1 tonight, they handed her an award for her Thursday expoits (1st round leader and/or the ace at #11).   She knocked it stiff at #1, leaving an easy birdie attempt, but her stroke was quite stabby and missed it badly...saved par. I hope that opening putt was just early nerves. She is Even on her first thee holes...the webcam has moved to the 5th, so she'll be there soon. ******* Beauty and The Beast...great recovery by Weiwei Zhang (77-69), who will play the weekend. I'm guessing the cut is top-60 plus ties, currently +5.   |

Now they're showing a replay of all the earlier tee shots at the 10th hole...I like how the cameraman focuses at the ball and clubhead when a player tees up a ball...we gotta see those brands! Unfortunately, the cut away from the par-5 5th hole where Kana Nagai made birdie...now leads by two shots. Even if it's just a small handful of player, I HATE this look! It is ridiculous...usually done by the scrubs and washouts. I've noticed that the top players on this tour NEVER do this.    |
