JLPGA: 2015 KKT Cup Vantelin Ladies Open

Sky Kim is Even after ten holes...trails the lead by two shots.
   

Erika Kikuchi is -1 after nine holes.
   

I'm seeing the name Erika Kikuchi a lot this season. She's really turning it on this season.

EK sprung an oil leak on the back nine, but recovered with a birdie on the par-4 17th...and a 30-yard wedge eagle on the par-5 18th!!!
 

  

I think Da Ye Na is swinging the Onoff AKA driver, which is listed on their website for Y80,000 + tax (about $673 + tax). The club is black and red on the sole, so maybe she has grey lead tape covering the black parts (can't hide the logo!).
 

As long as I meet a minimum Sister quota, I'm safe!

For example, Bo Mi Lee is making a charge...-5 on her round after 15 holes, -4 overall, which puts her in second place.  The scoreboard has been stuck for a while...they may be having the same rain delay that's holding up the KLPGA event.
 

w/ Ji Hee Lee
 

Sky Kim is currently T-38
 

...AND ERIKA KIKUCHI (-8 with six holes remaining) IS STILL IN FIRST PLACE!
 

 

One small correction:  it was a KO, not a TKO.  It turns out that they finished the 3rd round...the JLPGA website must have been temporarily hosed up.

Ha Neul Kim was T-34.

In her interview, E.K. says she wants to qualify for this year's USWO...oh boy, that might push me over the edge to make that long drive.

Bo Mi Lee is still the JLPGA points leader (but tied w/ E.K.)
 

Team Korea and Big Mama Ahn
 

Back to the winner's circle...

Wouldn't your drive to Lancaster be 2 hours at most?
