I forgot to mention in my comment earlier about Jin Young. From what I've seen of her on the KLPGA live stream, and in person. Is that she is a great golfer and will win Majors before her career is over. As she get more familiar with the different courses and greens. No telling how high she will go.
When I saw So Yeon win the Cactus Tour event here in two thousand eight. The year she turned pro. I knew that she was a special golfer and person.
I feel the same way about Jin Young.

Angel Yin had the dubious honor of being the only player to shoot a round in the 60's and still miss the cut.
When I turned on the broadcast this morning, some Irish woman was doing the color commentary before Judy Rankin came on the air. She wondered aloud if Pornanong Phatlum had always played with a pink ball. Obviously doesn't follow the LPGA.

The starter announced "See" Young Kim at the par-3 1st hole today. He had no problem with Sandra Gal. At 8:10 AM EST, we'll see if he mangles Mi Hyang Lee and Hyo Joo Kim...assuming they are shown. Interesting how Kim's shot sounded much louder than Gal's, but both balls finished next to each other on the green.
Hideous back nine for MHL yesterday, but she'll bounce back today.

Thank you Mr. Starter, Hyo Joo "Ho Jo" Kim should be wearing blue and orange from now on.

In Gee continues her recent crazy style of up and down golf; 4 birdies and 2 bogeys through 14.

bogeys seem to pop up more often late in the day.

MHL Even thru six holes.

Mamiko birdied first to tie the lead; she plays like Lucky 6.

In Gee began her comeback with a whimper; a harmless -2 round.
Although, twelve birdies in 3 rounds is something to shout about.
Ten bogeys are excessive; but pot bunkers are unforgiven.

...and where is Lucky 6? There's no excuse for her skipping this one. But, if she wants to skip Evian, I'm okay with that.

I guess I can't complain about So Yeon lack of broadcast time. I think they only showed Sung Hyun Park, putt three times. Seems that the US/European tv people really dislike Sung Hyun. They cannot effectively hide their struggles to understand her particular kind of nonconformity, or how someone could be so quiet and reserved. They all love So Yeon because she plays the publicity game so well, and Sung Hyun is like the anti-So Yeon in that regard.

Team America stinking up the joint as usual...only two players in the top-15 and the best is Mina Harigae?!!! She has come a long way since she was D. Kang's wing girl in the express checkout line at the Galloway Shop-Rite in 2017. There are stories of her running HOT during her early tour days...I once saw her jettison her ball into the two-foot high junk after putting out at the Seaview's 11th green...I didn't find it. I wonder if she ever got an invite to a regular (non-Mizuno/Toto) JLPGA event? Maybe as an amateur?

Foltzy mentioned Florian Rodriguez being on Higa's bag. That name sounded familiar...and I found it on this forum. He had Higa's bag at the 2016 Daio Paper on the JLPGA where she finished 2nd. I'm guessing that was a temporary arrangement as I see many pix of her over the years with Asian caddies. Rodriguez was with "Ji" Shin around 2012-13:

Looking back on photos of Porna, it appears that she hasn't had her brother on the bag for the last 2-3 years...although his wardrobe is still in use.
