Slow Lerner just made this announcement: "We are being told that leader Yu Liu made a triple-bogey at #18 to fall back to -3." Uh, instead of telling us, why not show it to us?! She was leading the tournament at -6, but I guess she's too much of a no-name Asian for the cameras to follow.
Someone was there...Liu's third shot at the par-4 18th.

It says RTD next to Wie's name on the LET online scoreboard. You're allowed to use your imagination on this one.

Earlier in the broadcast Abbott mentioned that the video is being provided by "European Tour Productions," whatever that is.
At the eleventh hour, In Gee finally gets some practice in.
In Gee did all the important prep work: - Pose with the Incredible Hulk? Check. - Play hopscotch? Check. - Try on some huge clogs? Check. - Hit the range the day before the event? Check.
Not surprised at all by Mamiko Higa tearing it up....watched her on the JLPGA broadcasts and she is extremely powerful when her swing bottoms out in the hitting zone, but is not wild like Rumi Yoshiba or Lala Anai. Just as I write this, she misses the 18th green way left, but she's not in the bunkers, so par is still in play. Tom Abbott says she will marry a sumo wrestler in October. Well, it takes all kind of people to make up a world.
Mamiko Higa was on the first Japan International Team. Then she struggled for a year and a half. She has really turned her game around the last year and a half.
Not a good first day for Jin Young, two bogeys and a double, no birdie.
So Yeon got to five under, but made bogey on seventeen and eighteen. I am starting to get a little worried about her finishes. Not a good finish to the tournament last week, bogey, bogey finish today. Maybe it's just nothing to worry about.
mamiko higa's future husband sumo name is Ikioi, 6'4" 370 lbs. in sumo he is a sekiwake rank. f you compare to baseball he is like a triple A player. i think he has won one sumo tournament in his career. his next promotion would be to ozeki which is like major league.
