No extended victory lap in the UK for Hinako Shibuno...she'll tee it up starting Friday at Sapporo International CC.
They have the usual mishmash of TV. I can only get this stream (Japan time):
Sunday - 4:05 PM
I would also check Youtube for other broadcasts, including live feeds at the 1st hole on Saturday and Sunday. Search string:

Hinako Shibuno showed up at the course on Wednesday and was greeted by her close friend Momoko Osato (left).

A translated article says Shibuno had no plans to play the course on Wednesday after arriving...and it's obvious that she wouldn't have had the time to do that.

Do the top sixty keep their card, are there other qualifications as well.
I don't expect her to lose hers but Ha Neul Kim is sixty one, money list.

It's the top-50 on the money list that is absolutely guaranteed a renewal of their card on the big tour. Of course, there are other complications like the two priority re-rankings they have during the season. With six career wins (at least one was a major), I don't think Sky will have any problems getting into tournaments next year. Heck, look at how many invites Sharon gets.  |

I tried watching the video above posted from Round Two...they are still bat guano nuts over Shibuno. She's the only player they showed during the first 25 minutes, until they switched to Yui Kawamoto making a putt...then back to Shibuno. Shibuno played with Mi Jeong Jeon and some player wearing a Bridgestone cap...never saw their shots, just heard them.  After Shibuno's post-round interview, the leaders are shown in the last ten minutes.

Just watched the live starting coverage. All activity on the first tee literally stopped for a good six minutes when sweets-loving Smile Candy Cinderella made her entrance flanked hand-in-hand between two children to thunderous applause. The galleries lining either side of the fairway looked about 10 deep.
But hey, maybe the next Next Superstar will generate this kind of fan excitement for the LPGA.

Yay Seon Woo! Awesome to see her get that breakthrough win at last. Here's hoping it's the first of many.
Hwaiting!
