Thursday practice -
The presence of Ji Yu Jung did not go unnoticed ...
Per Google mush, here are a couple of paragraphs from an article on Jung:
I couldn't participate in the pro-am match the day before the opening, so I made final adjustments on the putting green and driving range. 173 cm, 58 kg. In addition to the style that can be described as his model figure, his gorgeous appearance with a white top, red skirt and sun visor makes him stand out. “A lot of the players on the Korean tour wear bright colors, so it doesn't stand out, but I didn't expect it to stand out so much,” he said shyly.
During his putting practice, he wears a wireless earphone in his right ear and loops the song of the Korean male duo "MeloMance". "I play ballad-type songs that help me stay calm. I also listen to the sound of flowing water. It calms me down."

Saki Nagamine will put TaylorMade MG4 wedges into action this week. An article says the face is milled diagonally which allows water to drain off it better than before.

Good round by Kotone Hori with seven birdies two bogeys.
Yui Kawamoto minus one was just enough to make a needed cut.
