I can't confirm if this shot was taken this week, but it's a sweet one of Ai with her long-time loop Mick Seaborn. I was not aware that's she's playing this tourney for the first time since 2005. ***** Kotone Hori is Bridgestone's "golf hostess" this week. This should be her bag if she qualifies for the USWO. Bridgestone brought the entire toy box for the gear 'hos.

Team Bridgestone was the focus during Thursday prep: Yukari Nishiyama Kotone Hori Ai Miyazato Ayaka Watanabe ****** An article on Ting Ting says she is getting used to the firm greens on this tour...a lot of her approaches have been hitting and rolling off into the rough. It also said she is a chicken wing lover...a place in Shanghai has her favorite, but she also loves the ones in Nagoya.

Ting Ting will look 30 when she's 50...some white women look 50 at 30.

See the USWO thread for the details. *********** Is there any doubt that the Sunday newspapers in Japan will print big blow-ups like these? It's probably safe to assume that Ai and BML have played competitive rounds together before, but those instances must be quite rare. Yuki Ichinose and Erika Kikuchi JY Shin and Kotono Kozuma

They also showed a video of her sinking the winning putt in 2005. Momoko made a hideous chip on #17 that flew past the hole...it had an awful sound and she looked down on the lie afterward like she hit a root or rock...but made about a 15-footer for par coming back! On #18, her approach nearly rolled off the green and down a steep bank...and knocked that one in for birdie! Kotone defeated The Blue Meanies this week. Bo Mee Lee(-8) and Teresa Lu

Great win for Momoko, it's about time she won again. Kodos to Ai, her best round in a long time. As a matter almost every one in the top ten and Bo Mee I really like.
