Seriously...we NEED to create a petition here and send it to Whan to get Sky & Sharon LPGA membership.
Anyone have a link for a live stream to this event.

SBS Golf is NOT covering this one. The photos below are from my usual Japanese source, but I noticed that gettyimages has a bunch for this event, which is unusual. Maybe they thought it was important because it's the kickoff tournament for the JLPGA. Sun Ju Ahn's 68 leads by one stroke at -4 after Round One.  Rikako Morita shot 69  Momoko Ueda shot 72  Sky Kim shot 72  Bo Mi Lee shot 71  Chie Arimura shot 75  |

They're about half-way done with Round Two. Five are tied at -4, including Teresa Lu and JY Shin. Big Mama Ahn went +3 on her first six holes and fell to T-21. Ha Neul Kim is +3 on her first ten holes (T-62) and might miss the cut.  Bo Mi Lee is at -2 with nine holes left.   |

more pics and video (plus the leaderboard) on my blog: Teresa Lu Opens JLPGA Season With Win At 2015 Daikin Orchid Ladies Golf TournamentTeresa Lu Teresa Lu started the 2015 LPGA of Japan (JLPGA) season by picking up where she left off in 2014. Lu ended 2014 with a win at the JLPGA Tour Championship Ricoh Cup, her 2nd Major and 3rd overall win last season. Teresa opened 2015 with a 4 shot victory at the Daikin Orchid Ladies Golf Tournament. Last year, Teresa played the LPGA’s HSBC Women’s Champions, finishing T9. With Daikin and HSBC being concurrent this year, she chose to play in Okinawa rather than make the trip to Singapore. It turned out to be a wise decision, as she continues to grow as a force on the JLPGA.  Lu trailed Lala Anai by 1 shot (7-under to 8-under) after 2 rounds. An early eagle on the par 5 4th hole put Anai up by 3 shots, but after that it was all Teresa. The Taiwanese great was even par for her round for the first 6 holes. After that, she was simply sensational. Lu played the final 12 holes at 7-under, distancing herself from Anai and a fast charging Rikako Morita. Anai would finish her round at 1-under, 9-under for the tournament. Morita fired a 6-under 66, overtaking Anai for 2nd place at 10-under overall. They all played second fiddle to Lu at 14-under for her three rounds. It’s Teresa’s 5th career JLPGA victory. She takes home 18 million Japanese Yen or roughly around 149,000 USD. She finished her fantastic 2014 season 2nd on the JLPGA money list. It appears 2015 might be a similarly great year for Teresa. 1 TERESA LU (-14)   2 RIKAKO MORITA (-10)  3 LALA ANAI (-9)  4 HIKARI KAWAMITSU (-8)  T5 BO-MEE LEE (-7)  T5 MIKA MIYAZATO (-7)  T5 ASAKO FUJIMOTO (-7)  |

It's that kind of reaction that has made Teresa Lu one of my favorite golfers. She just looks like she's having a ton of fun out there. Of course, it becomes a lot more fun when you're winning all the time. |
