Both Yui Kawamoto and Kotone Hori are minus one first two rounds.
Great to see Yui make a cut.

Crap, I thought the Round Three broadcast was supposed to be LIVE, but Sunday was reduced to nine holes by bad weather, so I spoiled myself by looking at the online scoreboard.  I'll say no more. 
It's no spoiler to say that Yui (+2) did NOT win.

It looks like Yui Kawamoto plus two made the second cut whatever that means.
Kotone Hori ok with one under today

They had a second cut before play began on Sunday, but those 13 players received ¥540,000 each.
The Shinster made a mad dash to the lead, but was passed by Suzuki and Kowai.

Picked up her career 20th win on the second playoff hole.
New trophies were needed when they changed from T-Point to V-Point. The low am (right) was Yuna Araki (-1)
I assume The Shinster will restore a few of her Rolex points that she frittered away overseas this year.
Haruka Amamoto ... what is Kounoe? I looked it up ... Kounoe Sports Academy in Japan ... "provides a wide range of services including training support, total care, and mental support to bring out the full potential of top athletes in baseball, golf, softball, fighting, and volleyball."
Sharon (-2) picked up her first paycheck in five years.
Minami Katsu (-2)
A Katsu fangirl 
I can't recall seeing a tee box squeegeed before.

... well, probably. 
I'll say no more.
