This one starts Friday. The final field hasn't been posted yet, but I assume everyone who survived the KKT Vantelin will be here. There will be plenty of TV coverage on Fuji TV, which I hope we can get via the link below: mov3.co/fujitv/However, I just tried this link and it's not working, but maybe it will later. I think these are the live times of the broadcast(Japan dates and times): FRI: 2 PM to 4 PM SAT: 1 PM to 4:25 PM SUN: 1 PM to 3 PM |

This event's Monday qualifying process could not be more different compared to the LPGA. It seems they had only 91 exempt spots...then they added the top sixteen players from the Monday qualifier. Thirty-four players were in the qualifier. At the end of 18 holes, seven players were tied for spots 13 thru 16, so they started a playoff to eliminate three of those players. It ran for four holes and they went backwards, 18-17-16-15. The total field is now 107, which is a weird number, so maybe someone will be added later...or maybe an exempt player dropped out and won't be replaced.

They should just merge the KLPGA & JLPGA.....with bigger purses and better playing pros playing. |

Why would Bo-Mee leave that tour.
She is like a Rock Star over there.
Not to mention she would have to get use to a different culture.
Also because of the competition on the LPGA.
Probably wouldn't earn as much.
Not to mention, she would be far away from home and family.

The live Japanese feed worked, but it kept stopping and starting, so I bagged it and waited for the SBS Golf version later.

I'm hoping for a Smile Candy win, but a Ryu win will be nice too.....nice to see the pros signing some nice autographs and donations for earthquake victims.

The live streaming link posted earlier by JB is working now. I tried it earlier this PM, but it kept stopping and starting, so I killed it. It's working better now, but for how long I don't know. They're showing the laggards on the back nine; the leaders are still on the front nine. Try this: tv.exitoostore.com/2013/03/tv-online-bs-fuji-hq.html |
