Starts Thursday for a field of 120 ... top-60 plus ties make the cut. Yamaha has a fairly good number of pros on the JLPGA, but outside of Japan I'm drawing blanks. J. Song and Haru Nomura dumped them a few years ago and Eight Head retired ... I checked Yamaha's ROK website and it has pros I never heard of before.
AQ Stream won't carry any of this one ... I'll try this rogue video lookup on YT to see if the Internet police are sleeping:
