The link above is showing Vol. 1 of the 1st hole tee balls...it's a par-5 of 520 yards, doesn't look tough...the field has been playing it at about 4.8.
Ah Reum Hwang and Shoko Sasaki

Reika Usui has a interesting background, from age 3 to 11 she trained in dance and voice to become a Takarazuka performer (sort of the pop version of opera but all the performers are female), she wanted to play a male role with the entertainment troupe... if you follow serena aoki and mizuru narita they both are big fans of Takarazuka...
at age 11 her grandfather took over (sort of like rickie fowler's story), and it was golf from after school at the course and range and into the evening practicing putting at home. i think she passed the pro-test last year on her second try. her main comment was "she doesnt like to lose", even as a dancer she had to be the center (sort of like the quarterback of the dance team)...
also watch for yui kawamoto to be wearing a red ribbon in her hair... a tribute to tiger woods wearing red on the last day of a tournament.
personally, i hope hana wakimoto is able to win this one...

The broadcast quality on the Fuji TV stream has been absolutely lousy...I hope this is a one-time fluke. It's no spoiler to say Yui won...she's been way out in front...has a compact swing with a nice drop-down swing path to the inside.
