Really good second round by Yui Kawamoto four birdies no bogeys. Tie for eleventh place, at minus five, a great weekend hopefully. https://www.instagram.com/p/CMB_qXtl2S9 Nice come back by Kotone Hori five birdies to make the cut. She had two bogeys, but eliminated the double bogeys of the first round.

YouTube has a few 30-minute videos from Round Two. I don't know if they'll allow LIVE 1st hole videos for the weekend ... if they do, here are the times (Japan time):
Sat. - 8:20 thru 11:15 AM Sun. - 7:30 thru 10:15 AM
BTW, Lala Anai was a DQ for violating rule 4.1a. Per Google mush from Nikkan Sports:
She was disqualified for using Lala Anai (33 = GOLF5) for a "non-conforming club". Play with the sticker on the driver's club face for ballistic measurement. She had finished the second round of the day, but she had doubts about the use of the driver and confirmed with the competition committee. She turned out she was in breach of the rules and she was disqualified.
That's a really dumb mistake for a pro.

While I wasn't looking, someone had a LIVE feed posted on YouTube, but the TBS broadcast company in Japan slammed the lid on it right away. Meanwhile, I will set my alarm for 2 AM ... we'll see if my TBS link has the golf for Round Three ... I'm positive it will work for Round Four.
Per the tourney website, the 1st hole is a par-4 hole of 380 yards. Either they moved the tee WAY up or we have a couple of lucky players on Saturday as Mika Miyazato and Mone Inami made eagle-two on it.
Reika Usui on Saturday ... don't play a money game against her ... 77-66-made the cut.

The TBS broadcast stream worked perfectly this AM. Saigo is built like a slightly bigger NASA and played the same, until she four-putted the 17th green. Saigo only parred the par-5 18th, while many of the chasers made birdie and eagle there, so we officially have a horse race for Sunday.

Saki Nagamine (-6) aced #13.
Yuna Nishimura (-3) aced #8 ... she hasn't learned the proper photo pose yet.
MJ Jeon turned 38 last October ... doesn't play like it.
Eimi Koga (+1)
I just found out that Ayaka Furue (-4) moved up one spot this past Monday on the Rolex Rankings to #15, which would get her into the Olympics ... IF she stayed at #15.
Yui continued her successful warm-up for the major leagues.
Chae Young Yoon (+1), Sayaka Takahashi (-2) and Ji Hee Lee (E)
Kotono Kozuma (-4) will pick up her first check on Japan's big tour since November 2019.

Another round of sixty eight for Yui Kawamoto moving up toward the top. Kotone Hori even par moved her up to make more pocket change.

The TBS broadcast started with Koiwai and Saigo rolling in birdie bombs at #14, for a three-way tie at the top with Morita. After that, it was Koiwai who made no mistakes, while Morita dunked her drive at #15 and Saigo chunked a chip at #17 and pulled her second shot into a stand of trees at #18.

Yui Kawamoto got off to a bad start with four bogeys and one birdie through ten. She bounced back with birdies on eleven, seventeen and eighteen.
Kotone Hori finished with a three over par round. Not a great Tournament, but better than missing the cut.
