Shoko Sasaki will begin her title defense Friday. The field will be 96 although there are only 76 names posted on the JLPGA website ... this might be one of the events that has a big qualifier early in the week.
Round Three will be here on Sunday at 3:55 PM (Japan time): aqstream.com/jp/tva/TV-Asahi There will be other broadcasts Friday thru Sunday ... try YouTube search: 樋口久子 三菱電機レディスゴルフトーナメント No TV on SBS Golf.

Ayaka Furue received her official papers declaring her a pro.
********
In other news, Ritsuko Ryu admitted to being the player who "ranted" about not getting a towel last week ... she wrote an apology and suspended herself, pending final disposition of her case.

This is just dreadful news: Solar Lee is DNS (stomach ache). Hee Kyeong Bae was also left at the starting gate (left wrist pain). Interesting name on the leaderboard, Min A Yoon (a), Even on her first nine holes. She had hot opening rounds at Stage One and Two of LPGA Q-school … I can't recall if she played earlier stages of the JLPGA Pro Test. She played amateur events in Canada, Australia and the USA in the last couple of years, currently 79th on WAGR. Kana Nagai and SW Bae Rie Tsuji and Eim Koga

This is just dreadful news: Solar Lee is DNS (stomach ache). The way she's been WDing lately, you'd think she was Carlota Ciganda trying to protect her million dollar lead in the AON Challenge.

The outlaw stream of the 1st hole is running perfectly ... at least until The Big Boss Man wakes up and shuts it down.
They showed Ayaka Furue tee off at #2 ... serenaded by about 100 camera clicks.
Blast from The Past: Rikako Morita was on the range ... but as a caddie! ...wow, from top of the hill 6 or 7 years ago to dining on $1 hamburgers. She's on the bag of Yuki Ichinose.
They interviewed amateur Shuri Sakuma (age 16) before she teed off ... Japan's next golf sweetheart ... IF she is really good.
I'm watching the mysterious Min A Yoon play the par-5 1st hole (500 yards) ... her swing has some giddyap on it, how did she blow Stage 2 of LPGA Q-school?
Megumi Kido and Karis Davidson
Reika Usui and Phoebe Yao (at 69th on the money list, she is smart to play in Japan instead of Taiwan this week)

There are YT streams of Round Three at the first hole, but they must be delayed since the online scoreboard is much further ahead. I better get up an hour earlier than planned as Japan doesn't do DST.
Haruka Morita and Rikako Morita will get some extra moolah working Sunday for Yuki Ichinose
Eight Head and Momoko Osato
