I think you explained their times before and I am still confused. Are these times in sync with the tournament play or later. |

The TV for this one is definitely not live. They are 13 hours ahead, so I have to get up at 3 AM.
Kristen Gilman and Sierra Brooks were invited. Somebody over there LUVS Sierra; she has played the JLPGA at least twice before. Also, I didn't know that she transferred from Wake Forest U. to U. of Florida.

Tuesday prep:
Miyuki Takeuchi
Erika Hara and Hae Rym Kim

Tuesday party:
Ritsuko Ryu, Ayaka Watanabe and Kana Nagai
Rumi Yoshiba, Saki Nagamine and Serena Aoki/Misuzu Narita

Sharon had an early morning tee time for the Wed. pro-am.
Sky Kim and Momoka Miura...that is Mr. Shimuzu on Miura's bag...last week he was with Hina Arakaki...I assume he'll be back with Bo Mee Lee when she returns to the tour next week...needless to say, he must be looking over these other players closely in consideration of his own future.
Sakura Yokomine and Erika Kikuchi

Ha Neul is ridiculously cute!  She won't let the heat beat her! |

I think the translated articles are saying that Sakura Koiwai's 62 was the lowest score shot since Hyo Joo Kim's closing 61 at the 2012 Suntory Ladies Open.
I was rushed for time this AM, so a few pix from Round One:
Sierra Brooks (-1) and Momoko Ueda (-1)
Hae Rym Kim (+3) and Sakura Koiwai
Kristen Gillman
********
Early Round Two:
Kana Nagai, Serena Aoki and Kotono Kozuma
Weiwei Zhang stopped for a pic I took of her at Bedminster last year...sigh, unless she starts racking up big finishes on this tour in the next few years, I might not get another chance.  |

Sakura Koiwai cuts an attractive figure out there to go with an attractive swing.
Kristen Gillman looks like Justin Leonard and swings the club like Karis Davidson on Mannika Juice. Gillman's drive on #17 carried as long as Koiwai's, but rolled out ten more yards.
Sharon (E) made the cut on the number
Look out for Eight Head
Misuzu Narita (E)
Ah Reum Hwang (-5), Teresa Lu and Ayaka Matsumori (-2)

Amateur Kristen Gillman wins by four strokes, a very composed performance despite the large galleries. She follows Hyo-joo Kim and Minami Katsu in being the latest amateur win. Aussie Karis Davidson has her second top 10 in as many weeks and is on track to keep her card. www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXjEgffaAuo |

Gillman is the sixth amateur to win on the JLPGA...the last was Nasa at the 2016 Japan Women's Open. It wasn't the absolute strongest field (Suzuki, Shin, and Big Mama Ahn skipped it), but it definitely was not a weak field. The slo-mo replay of her downswing showed an acute lag angle formed by her arms and club shaft which was just sick.
If she has a brother, that's probably him on her bag. Gillman just finished her soph year at Alabama where she was only the second best player on her team behind Lauren Stephenson.
Chae Young Yoon couldn't get it done on Sunday...she was in the last group but the broadcast didn't show any of her shots.
This is Ayako Kimura's second T-2 finish in 2018, although she has made only five of twelve cuts.
Sakura Koiwai's second T-2 of 2018 and her 5th top-10 overall.
Sierra Brooks (-6) and Sky Kim (-2)
Weiwei Zhang (+1) and Serena Aoki (-5)
Karis Davidson and Sexy Queen (+2, T-55)
