Ai Suzuki aced #16 (listed at 147 yards) with her Ping G 8-iron.


The current JLPGA money leader


PRGR prototype weapon on display...I assume Erina Hara is gaming it, as the caption of her pic says she picked up 10 more yards with a new driver.


Kotono Kozuma(79) has high optical utility (aka Eye Candy)...but she is headed for her sixth MC in 2016.


Bo Mee Lee


Ritsuko Ryu and the downhill par-4 3rd hole.

STOP IT....nice jinx.

The video link in my last post worked and they showed the last four holes with the final group (below:  Erina Hara, Bo Mee Lee, Ha Neul Kim).  Sunday's round will be on the same channel (TBS), 3:30 PM to 5 PM (Japan time).  I saw no replays scheduled by TBS.

Quake donations...they are playing about 50 miles north of Kumamoto.


Erika Kikuchi(-1) and Rumi Yoshiba(E)



Sun Ju Ahn(+1), Shiho Oyama(+1), and Ayaka Matsumori(E)

Hey Merica....this is what a galley looks like at a women's event.
Make America Great Again....Trump is a God!! ....I didn't know that The Donald was in Lynden, WA last Sunday....it's only approx 50 miles for me and maybe 90 minutes away for Happyfan and Vern.

Look at the top-4 (and three of them were in the last group)...send out an S.O.S. to Jan Stephenson...the LPGA JLPGA is getting "killed"...nobody cares about Bo Mee Lee and Ha Neul Kim in the last group...see:


On the clock?


I dozed off after the broadcast started around the 14th hole and awoke at the 18th hole, but I didn't miss anything.  JY Shin ran away with it during the during the first 14 holes and everyone else did nothing.

w/ Low amateur Minami Katsu

I forgot about that.  Yeah, Shin speaking Korean...you'd think she could toss out a few canned Japanese golf victory cliches by this time.  I hope they don't have vicious Netizens over there like they do in Korea.

Yes, Sky's popularity over there is ramping up fast...let's see if multiple golf magazine covers follow.  As for Shin in the last group...what can you do...it was like stuffing a Chrysler K-Car into Jay Leno's garage.
