In other news:
* Shin Ae Ahn will tee it up in two weeks at the Nobuta Group Masters GC Ladies...she made two cuts in five starts on the JLPGA this season.
* The JLPGA Step Up tour is in action this Thursday thru Saturday. I guess they don't do battlefield promotions like the LPGA, since three-time winner Yui Kawamoto is teeing it up again.

At least Ai Suzuki is sitting out this event; otherwise it won't look good.

At least Ai Suzuki is sitting out this event; otherwise it won't look good. I wonder if she was afraid that her injury could cause her to have to withdraw doing the IL tournament. If she had to withdraw during a regular tournament, it wouldn't make a lot of difference. Just a thought, because she is in line to become the face of the JLPGA. Not as popular as Ai, but maybe as popular as Bo-Mee. |

Looks like Ayaka Watanabe has signed up for the LPGA Q-School. Maybe it's a misprint , because she is starting to play better on the JLPGA tour. Except for the first round 82. |

what a surprise...i just looked ayaka watanabe name on the stage 2 q-school list....i remember early on in the process she and kawanishi signed on but i thought they both pulled out...hope she does well... she has been very inconsistent this year with many missed cuts. about a year ago she played a promo round with hidetoshi nakata (soocer player) and it was mentioned she had hopes to play in lpga.
