This is a small money event jammed between two big money events, so there are some major absentees (such as Bo Mi Lee, Mi Jeong Jeon, Sun Ju Ahn). If Ha Neul Kim can't step it up this week...  They tee off Friday...no SBS Golf coverage. Speaking of Japanese, an alert shutterbug found Mika Miyazato greeting Hideki Matsuyama at the Masters.  |

That's a Titleist driver from the Japanese market.
Looks like Kang is playing an Adams hybrid.
The Graphite Design shaft is so popular with the gals.....not sure of the driver head Kang is playing....doesn't look like the R15 or Aeroburner.

I see it a lot in the JLPGA photos and videos...I don't know if the Gloire F irons are as popular. Don't know about that other wood...one of my sources (www.alba.co.jp) has WITB info on most JLPGA players (as of 03/2015), but has nothing on Kang. Here's the wedge info related to the picture below...any excuse to shine more light on EK.  Titleist Vokey SM5 (48 ° and 52 °) Titleist Vokey TVD prototype (57 °)   |

Her 2015 scoring average is a career-low 71.3684, ranks 5th on tour, and is almost a 1/2 stroke less than 2014. Is her first win around the corner?   SY Kang   |
