Dumbo will not defend, but the cream of the JLPGA will be there, along with Lexi Thompson, Mika Miyazato, Sung Hyun Park, and Hye Jin Choi(A). SS Feng is not playing in Alabama, but I don't know if she'll be here...might be taking the week off before playing in China next week.
SBS Golf will have Sat. & Sun. rounds at 7 PM (Korea time). There may be additional streaming available on Japanese TV. I also found a VOD reference on the tourney website...we'll see if that leads to anything when the event starts Thursday.

It's surprising that In Gee is not defending.
Yokohama is not a top tournament.
Unless her sponsors have some ties to Yokohama.
Either that or I missed the reason why.
Or because of her previous injury, she wants to cut down traveling on long plane flights.
My bad, In Gee is not playing Yokohama!!!!

It's surprising that In Gee is not defending. Dumbo sent Lexi as her proxy. |

Considering she is a past champion in Prattville....I've gotta believe Lexi is getting an appearance fee or she's gonna return from Japan with another endorsement and if she's gonna attend a contract signing..... why not play a little golf nearby.

Tuesday night shindig: Looks like each player had a name tag, but this year's blonde import didn't need one.   Bo Mee Lee and Big Mama Ahn...Ai Suzuki and Shiho Oyama  eresa Lu and a group shot which includes Sung Hyun Park on far right (dial 911...Mayday...SOS) These are some of the worst pics of Lexi....jetlag??? Looks like Photoshop is banned in Japan. Is Big Mama wearing a potato sack? |

For those who are curious, Ha Neul struggled to a 3 over 75 and is tied for 60th. Great start by Sung Hyun Park and Hye Jin Choi!

That's around $9,300. Nice gesture by the absent defending champ! |
