I turned the video on about 60 minutes ago and no one is there. However, I recognized the lady's voice who does the public address introductions for the players at the 1st hole...but no one is doing that for the players starting at #10. I forgot about Asami Kikuchi, another one of the "names" here. She teed off at #1, has a good-looking swing...don't know why she can't get off the scrub tour, where she has a T-3 and T-7 in her last two starts. I guess she's not ready to carry sis Erika's bag...for now. It appears that the players walk the course, while somebody drives a cart only on the paths carrying their bags.
Ting Ting is Even thru six holes.

Kaori Aoyama will have that birthday next week...just saw her tee off. She had a pleasant week on the big tour last week (T-30)...she has four top-10s on the washout tour in 2018. I'm sure she's desperate to return to the major leagues where she had 23 starts in 2017. |

This is a exact translation from Google Chrome hence no crowds Ticket information ※ We refuse watching the general people. Please note. I guess that means no spectators are welcome.  |

A nasty wind-whipped spritz is hitting the course now, but play continues. The carts never leave the paths, so the players sometimes are going to their balls with several clubs in hand. The final group tees off at 8:30 PM EST.
Porani Chutichai

They have a weather delay now...the first segment of the broadcast ended about an hour early. They're currently showing a golf program called 'Cherry Golf' with Saiki Fujita as the guest. I'd love to pick her brain on all the exotic golf brands she has used over the years...I wonder if she kept all that stuff.
Co-leaders at -4 thru two holes, Na Ri Lee and Yui Kawamoto

I just woke up from a nap and learned that they decided to wipe out Round Three and have a playoff between Kawamoto and Lee.
Kawamoto (pink) won it...they just interviewed the winner, but the broadcast is still running for who knows how long.
Update: They just started the indoor trophy ceremony. Despite washing out Round Three, the winner will still get the full purse of ¥5,400,000 (about $48,785 USD).
