I think they said on recent LPGA broadcast that Inky sold her house in San Diego and has an attitude of wanting to travel. I guess that means she's living out of a suitcase indefinitely, right? There's a gap between Kingsmill and Shop-Rite...will she play another foreign event? BTW, have you ever seen an old pic of Chie Arimura? Her teeth were a 9-1-1...had a major cap job about three years. I assume these are the big names assembled on stage. The first three in the front row (L - R) appear to be Mi Jeong Jeon, Mika Miyazato, and Teresa Lu.  |

Shanshan is in Shanghai this week along with Charley Hull and Xiyu Lin contesting the Buick Championship, co-sanctioned by the CLPGA and the LET.

Why would Korda and IK Kim be playing this?.....do they have some Japanese sponsors? Isn't rare that Ai-Chan plays on the JLPGA? I just found out last week that HYP had plastic surgery....we know Sharon has.....has Sky gone under the knife too? Basically because they are being paid appearance money, Each year a leading American comes over and in the past it has been Creamer and Pressel. Ai-chan is sponsored by Hisamitsu who is the title sponsor of this event under one of there brands "Salonpas" In-gee Chun is there due to being the leading KLPGA player and again i would say being paid a nice sum to turn up. |

More pictures! Via Mika Miyazato's Twitter. Mika and Ai:  Mika, Ai, and Momoko:  This last one needs some explaining. Taylor Swift is taking part in her "1989" Tour in Japan this week. Jessica Korda tagged her on Twitter, saying that she should be going to the concert. Taylor actually reached out to Korda and invited her personally to the show. From Jessica's Twitter:  |

Another unexpected guest: In Gee Chun (right) with Ai Miyazato  It's cool that In Gee has been spreading her wings this year: four LPGA events, and now a JLPGA Major. I hope to heck she doesn't win this week, though.  If she earns a tour card here, she'll be awfully tempted to go play in Japan next season, and I still haven't gotten over losing Ha Neul to the JLPGA.  Inky, she could really use a Major title, so I'm pulling for her this week. Go Sisters! |

Since no one posted this, I thought I'd put it up here. Runner Up Queen Bo Mee Lee got out to another great start, shooting a 65 for the lead.   KLPGA invite In Gee Chun is tied for second with a 66. She's tied with Jae Eun Jung, who has also been playing on the KLPGA a bit lately. Inky shot a 70, Jiyai Shin a 71. 1 Bo-Mee Lee -7 -7 65 65 2T Jae-Eun Chung -6 -6 66 66 2T In-Gee Chun -6 -6 66 66 4 Ritsuko Ryu -5 -5 67 67 5T Kumiko Kaneda -3 -3 69 69 5T Serena Aoki -3 -3 69 69 5T Yuri Fudoh -3 -3 69 69 5T Ji-Hee Lee -3 -3 69 69 5T Na-Ri Lee -3 -3 69 69 5T Erika Kikuchi -3 -3 69 69 5T Teresa Lu -3 -3 69 69 5T Momoko Ueda -3 -3 69 69 13T In-Kyung Kim -2 -2 70 70 19T Ji-Yai Shin -1 -1 71 71 35T Jessica Korda 0 0 72 72 35T Ai Miyazato 0 0 72 72 50T Ha-Neul Kim +1 +1 73 73 66T Young Kim +2 +2 74 74 |

Korda won't win. What a shame she is such a wonderful wonderful person. An absolute credit to the human race.

I try to do my part to help the white race that is at a horrific disadvantage in men's and women's golf.
