It was Bo Mee Lee's only win last year and she has won the last two...the action starts Friday at Daihakone CC (6704 yards, par-73).

The regular TV broadcast will be on Sunday at 3 PM (Japan time) here:

aqstream.com/jp/tva/TV-Asahi

There's no TV for Friday's round, but a channel I don't have will show it live on Saturday and Sunday...Youtube might have it under the English event name.

Kotone Hori will drain her putts like Crenshaw after using this device.

Even Asuka Kashiwabara is trying to help her.

As a reminder of her current status, Kotone Hori was given the earliest tee time going off at the 10th hole, but she's making the most of it at -2 thru five holes...TIED FOR FIRST!

She still has a future in magazine covers.

Kotono Kozuma, another young player desperately trying to salvage her game...ditto for Shinobu Moromizato, except that she's not so young.

I don't what these pics mean. This golf course is part of a resort...maybe these are geysers or hot springs. It's about 50 miles SW of downtown Tokyo.

An Asian bad at math...huh?!!! Hina Arakaki signed for a 5 on the par-5 18th, but really made a 6 (you'd think it would be fresh in her memory) and was DQ'd. I haven't read what her overall correct score would have been, but she was in first at -8 thru nine holes.

The regular Round Two broadcast is below...had Hina signed a correct scorecard, she'd be two shots back at -8. The video includes a Hori par-saver at 23:37...more Hori highlights at 51:48 and 58:32. At 58:03, there's a great shot of Shiho Oyama getting ready to tee at the par-4 16th...this course reminds of some on the KLPGA...cut through the foothills of a mountain range, but this one is greener.

A translated article says Kotono Kozuma went to a "golf studio" in Tokyo on Monday and had her putting analyzed every which way...a one-hour lesson is ¥8,650. They concluded that she was too far away from the ball and her stroke was too slow. She must have fixed it...27 & 26 putts the first two days.

The real Kotone Hori I guess is back.
She is plus four through nine holes.
I was really hoping that this would be a new start for her.
I am not giving up on her.
If she can have two good rounds, there's nothing stopping her from having three.

Couldn't keep my eyes open for this one. The winner is a rookie who had eight MCs in her first 11 starts this season, but she's been better recently.

There is still hope that she will start playing better. All three tours this year, golfers are coming from nowhere and winning tournaments.
