Right you are ... Suzuki's win must have shaken up Camp Shibuno ... and the traffic & parking warnings are up again. Sky Kim ("poor health") and Big Mama Ahn ("headache") are WDs.
Wed. practice:
Shibuno and BML
Hina Arakaki and Phoebe Yao with new logos
Erika Hara and Momoko Ueda with new weapons
Ito En staffer Momoko Osato attended charity event ... part of tournament proceeds will be donated for typhoon relief.

I'm guessing Thursday is pro-am day if Kobayashi is suiting up ... with Chie Arimura
Three-time winner Kaori Ohe (age 29) announced she won't play in Q-school and is retiring after this week, citing lack of motivation.
Kotone Hori and JY Shin
Sakura Koiwai and Minami Katsu
No daylight, no problem for Shibuno
Bo Mee Lee and Aoi Ohnishi
Trawling for sponsors? Yui Kawamoto and Ayako Uehara displaying Ito En beverages.

Solar (+2) got eclipsed.
RANK PLAYER SCORE TODAY 1R 2R 3R TOTAL 1 Chae-Young Yoon -6 -6 66 66 2T Satsuki Oshiro -5 -5 67 67 2T Erika Kikuchi -5 -5 67 67 2T Megumi Kido -5 -5 67 67 2T Mone Inami -5 -5 67 67 6T Kaori Ohe -4 -4 68 68 6T Eri Okayama -4 -4 68 68 6T Na-Ri Lee -4 -4 68 68 6T Serena Aoki -4 -4 68 68 6T Karen Gondo -4 -4 68 68 6T Minami Katsu -4 -4 68 68 6T Ayako Kimura -4 -4 68 68 6T Ai Suzuki -4 -4 68 68 6T Mamiko Higa -4 -4 68 68
At 49th on the money list, Eight Head looks motivated
I thought Kaori Ohe was not motivated ... give back those retirement flowers to Kumiko Kaneda (E)
Hinako (-1) turned 21 on Friday
Kotone Hori (E) ... you're still going back to q-school
Queen Shiho (-3) still has a bag of tricks
Bo Mee Lee (-2) and Kana Nagai (+6)
'80s girl Chie Arimura (+2)
Karis Davidson (+4) at #52 on the money list needs to wake up ... ditto for Erina Hara (+3) at #59 on the money list

The regular broadcast of Round Two (minus the commercials) is only about 35 minutes (above), but it is WAY better than last week's Toto LPGA snoozer. I'm keeping myself in the dark before watching Round Three.
RANK PLAYER SCORE TODAY 1R 2R 3R TOTAL 1T Jiyai Shin -10 -7 69 65 134 1T Kaori Ohe -10 -6 68 66 134 3T Reika Usui -9 -7 70 65 135 3T Ai Suzuki -9 -5 68 67 135 3T Minami Katsu -9 -5 68 67 135 6T Bo-Mee Lee -8 -6 70 66 136 6T Mami Fukuda -8 -5 69 67 136 6T Shiho Oyama -8 -5 69 67 136 6T Mone Inami -8 -3 67 69 136 6T Erika Kikuchi -8 -3 67 69 136
Solar (74-71) went home early ... but will play next week.
Q: Where's Waldo? A: Kicked to the curb, 71-72 (MC) ... the cut was -2.
If Shibuno plays like this, there's no need for Suzuki to join the LPGA to make the Olympics
The newest case study at wherever they teach sports psychology: Kaori Ohe cashing in her chips and winning at the same time.
NEWSFLASH: Bo Mee Lee has reunited with Mr. Shimuzu (the Steve Williams of Japan) ... she dumped him last year because she was playing so poorly and didn't want him to starve.
Almost everyone who made the cut shot a better score Saturday than CY Yoon (-7)
Ayako Kimura (-7)
Kana Mikashima (-6) and HK Bae (-4)
Reika Usui

Is the YouTube times you posted Japan time. I used the search you posted several times last night. All that I got was the Leaderboard and some other showing. Maybe Kotone wont win.

I always post the broadcaster (TV Asahi, TV Tokyo, Fuji TV, etc.) times in Japan time since I don't know where people are to watch it. However, there's no guarantee of a live simulcast on YouTube ... probably because the posters know they'll probably get shut down if they do it. However, once the official broadcasts are finished, people are loading them on YT .... Round Two was loaded in segments by several people. There's also a video of Round One, which is news to me since all my sources said there would be no TV at all on Friday. It helps a lot to sort the videos by Upload Date - hit the 'FILTER' in the upper left.
I watched the LIVE broadcast of Round Two on TV Asahi at 1 AM EST Sat. The video ran okay, except for an occasional hiccup. I have to get up at 2 AM EST for Sunday's round.

Kaori Ohe says she'll still quit even if she wins.

Well, that was a letdown. I really wanted Oyama to push it over the top and almost did ...the only bogey-free player this week. But, Suzuki hit a crazy approach at #18 that finished left of the pin and near the water, which she birdied for her 7th win in 2019.
RANK PLAYER SCORE 1R 2R 3R TOTAL PRIZE 優勝 Ai Suzuki -14 68 67 67 202 ¥18,000,000 2 Shiho Oyama -13 69 67 67 203 ¥9,000,000 3 Seonwoo Bae -12 69 68 67 204 ¥7,000,000 4T Eri Okayama -11 68 70 67 205 ¥4,675,000 4T Chae-Young Yoon -11 66 71 68 205 ¥4,675,000 4T Mami Fukuda -11 69 67 69 205 ¥4,675,000 4T Minami Katsu -11 68 67 70 205 ¥4,675,000 8 Jiyai Shin -10 69 65 72 206 ¥3,000,000 9T Mamiko Higa -9 68 71 68 207 ¥1,992,000 9T Momoko Ueda -9 72 66 69 207 ¥1,992,000 9T Haruka Morita -9 72 66 69 207 ¥1,992,000 9T Mone Inami -9 67 69 71 207 ¥1,992,000 9T Kaori Ohe -9 68 66 73 207 ¥1,992,000
Low am Yuzuki Yoshizawa (-3) on left has a good swing.
SW Bae was in the mix until she probably (hard to see on video) rinsed her ball on the par-3 17th.
Minami Katsu aced #17 (200 yards) and picked up ¥5,000,000 prize.
Bo Mee Lee (-8) and Momoko Ueda
I was watching Queen Shiho's practice putting on one of the early Sunday videos. She was hitting rapid fire lag putts, but not at a target ... kept her head down the entire time and must have been focusing on her swing path and length of her stroke. She moved up to 49th on the money list.
Eight Head seems to be in the clear as she moved up to 42nd on the money list. Yui (-5) has some pop in the driver ... her tee balls at #1 reached a big marker or sprinkler head on Saturday and Sunday and I didn't see many players hitting it there.
Munsingwear needs a new mobile billboard with Ohe retiring.

Congratulation to Ai Suzuki for her win. With that time off she came back ready to finish strong.

Is Ha Neul Kim injured, she is fifty fourth on the Money List. She is not listed in the next Tournament. Do she qualify for the season ending Tournament.

Wow, that was a drag finish. Would have loved to see Final Round Queen or Bo Mi pull this out, and you also had Seon Woo and Chae Young with a chance. But it ends up being Suzuki again. Oh well, good week for the Sisters at least.
