The Youtube broadcast is running decently. Inky made two full swings at the par-5 7th and showed no signs of injury...but she started badly, now +3...the cut is bouncing between +2 and +3.
Sky Kim (70-77, +3) will have a long wait in the clubhouse...Hae Rym Kim (74-74, +4) can catch an early flight for Hite/Jinro

Not a good sign for the International Crown that Inky missed the cut, although I did see a little of her playing, and she didn't play that badly. It was really one late hole where she made a big number that did her in.
In Gee really needs to pick it up on the weekend. If the Koreans will have any chance of winning the IC, one of those two (Inky, In Gee) has to play better than this. So Yeon and Sung Hyun Park can do the heavy lifting, but they need someone to make the occasional point or two when those two are not firing perfectly.
So Yeon cooled off considerably in round 2, but at least she's still up near the top of the leaderboard. The real fun starts tomorrow. Good luck to her!
Ha Neul, sigh. I had high hopes for this week. Oh well, hopefully it was just a one round glitch and she'll get back to her torrid pace.
Sisters Hwaiting!

Despite her outfit yesterday, which was a crime against nature, Rumi is really quite attractive , and her pal isn't so bad either. . .  |

Yeah, I saw Rumi at Lancaster and Bedminster and I hope she makes future appearances in my neighborhood. That's Kotono Kozuma with her.
**********
There are a couple of Round Three videos on Youtube, mostly the play at the 1st hole. Nothing appears to be set up (yet?) for the regular broadcast of holes 7 thru 18 at 1:50 PM (Japan time).
Shiho and Kang sprung out of their wheelchairs today...each is -2 thru nine holes and -3 overall.
******
Congrats to Yui Kawamoto for getting her third Step Up tour win in 2018...three events left on the schedule. She's #1 in money (about $126K USD) and scoring average (71.5769). I don't know how this affects her status on the big tour...I sure hope she doesn't need to play any future stages of q-school.

I think I'm watching it now on aqstream.com/jp/nhk/NHK-GOver the last two-three hours I've been watching from 13-18, with focus on lead group of Nasa, So Yeon and Phoebe. Focus also shifted some to Erika as she closed in on the lead. Steady drizzle but nothing like the typhoon coverage they showed with a 5 minute breakaway from the golf programming. So Yeon has been steady as she goes, Nasa has missed a couple of easy pars, Phoebe gave one back and Erika drove in the trees. Three were tied at -10 but after the above mistakes, So Yeon is alone at -10. Phoebe and Erika at -9, but Erika just birdied 18 to get back to -10. Nasa has fallen back to -7. Phoebe has made several tough par putts to stay at -9. Nasa birdies the last to get to -8. Phoebe and So Yeon both parred the last. Nice interviews of Hina and Erika. Anyway good viewing and hoping for a better finishing day but by the looks of the typhoon that is not promising. . . |

Other than So Yeon, another bad showing so far for the Koreans. I watched some of the back nine. So Yeon seemed really steady. Pretty much hit all her fairways or just barely missed, hit the greens, just wasn't close enough most of the time for good birdie chances. Stress free 69. The other players they showed were making plenty of mistakes but were also either saving pars or making more birdies. So it's still close, but if So Yeon can just find her next gear she could run away with this. Good luck to her tomorrow! In Gee made a few mistakes here and there, but this was still a definite improvement over her first two days. The 16th hole was brutal today, and she bogied that, but she is now t-20th, which is at least within range of the leaderboard. I really want to see her get a top ten tomorrow; in this field, she should definitely be able to do that. There are a few other Sisters such as Chae Young Yoon who are close enough to make a run at top tens as well. Good luck Sisters, especially So Yeon!!! Hwaiting!!!   |

A really solid round by So Yeon, ball striking and putting.
She also used some strategy on hole sixteen, by teeing off with a three wood.
She took the big number out of play.
Good luck to her today.
Teresa Lu cut someone skin on hole sixteen, because she was the only other golfer to birdie it.

I noticed So Yeon hitting 3-wood on 16 as well. She was the only one to hit the green in her pairing. Good move! (although she just barely missed a birdie there, still well played for a hard hole).

The worst nightmare just happened for Ryu fans: Nasa woke up for the second time in this tournament...two holes, two holes, this thing is OVER.

The current LIVE video on Youtube shows the groups that started on #10 coming through on the 1st hole...BML, HK Bae, and A. Kashiwabara just teed off. Per the JGA website, the start of the "regular" broadcast was moved up to 11 AM (Japan time), but other sources still say Noon.
BML and Bae
