Ai Miyazato (Bridgestone visor) greeting 15 amateurs, including Yuka Saso (maroon blazer), Gabi Ruffels (red shirt) and Yuka Yasuda (4th from right in back row).
Chie Arimura and Ai Suzuki
Bo Mee Lee and Ha Neul Kim
Yui Kawamoto and Erina Hara
I think Ai had a dental job done since retiring...she and a few others are raising their favorite Suntory beverages.

Ha Neul has one great smile.
How did Gabi Ruffels a German /American make her way into the tournament.
Also a USC Trojan.

Yae Eun Hong is 16. She is starting to make some noise as an amateur. Go Amy!

Gabi Ruffels still had a good showing at plus two.
She's had hardly any experience playing in Professional Tournaments.
So missing the cut by one shot is pretty good.
Too bad that Bo-Mee couldn't keep the great play going.
Probably no chance of winning, but I hope that she at least get a top ten.

Forget Hong as low am...Yuka Saso roasted everyone with 10 birdies and a 63...I can't imagine her playing four years at U. of Georgia.

It's only right that another Ai wins an Ai tournament.
Congratulation to Ai number two.
But there will always be one number one.
Nice second place finish for Mamiko Higa.

Poor Amy! She had the amateur lead, she shoots a pretty decent 68 in the final round, and fricking Saso shoots a 63 and passes her right by for low am. Just one of those weekends for the Sisters. Ah well, she hardly shamed herself. Give her another year or two of seasoning at the amateur level and she could be the one doing the smoking. Hwaiting! (she still got a little trophy and a photo with Ai Miyazato, so it wasn't that bad a week for her!) https://www.instagram.com/p/Byw5bmOFlRI |

Five ams made the cut and they all got a trophy.  I hope Saso's trophy was a little bigger than the others!
Yuka Yasuda's latest IG post shows her with a sister dressed in golf attire. 
Hong turns 17 in three months...didn't find any English articles on her being recruited by U.S. colleges...extremely unlikely that she'll take that route.
