This one runs March 26-28 with a field of at least 114 ... cut is top-60 plus ties. Weather.com says they'll have highs of 67-70 F each day with a high chance of rain on Sunday. JY Shin will make her 2021 Japan debut. I was guessing that Yui might take this week off in order to get in more local prep at ANA, but no, she is playing at Miyazaki this week ... ANA-bound Shibuno is also playing AXA. Daily attendance is limited to 1,000 pre-sold tickets per day ... needless to say, they're all gone.
Limited TV this week ... Fuji TV will have its regular broadcast Sunday at 4:05 PM (Japan time) here:

Kotone and Natsuka Hori are playing the Step Up Tour March 23,24.
It's probably best for them to try and make it back to the Big Tour.
She made birdie on eleven up by two now.

Good first round for 2019 Defending Champion Yui Kawamoto.
Strange to see Ha Neul Kim sponsor change to Callaway from Hite Jenro.
I wonder if Hite is getting out of the Golf players Sponsorships.

Her interviewer on YouTube said "tournament course record" in English ... Spring Training is so over that this stage. Mr. Shimuzu (38 wins in Japan) advised her to aim away from the flags, which was new ... will she take him to ANA?

One thing about Solar: She's already tripled the number of IG posts she made all of last season. It must be in her Fair Liar contract. Hope they'll keep her on staff. At least she signed her card. Google mush: Spring 🌸. The weather is good, the golf course is good, and the clothes are pretty💕 Fighting. #春 🌸. @fairliar_official. . . . #Nike Golf Shoes #nikeゴルフシューズ #Octaminex #Callaway #Fairlier #Fealier #Steel fiber https://www.instagram.com/p/CMwGnfwMYgS |

Great round for Yui, hope she finishes with the win.
It will be great for her confidence before she go to ANA.

Yui's driver swing on the last two holes looked pretty good.
Remember, all the putts break towards Indio....or is it away from Indio?
JY Shin, business as usual
Eimi Koga (-2)
Erika Hara
HK Bae (-4)
Hikari Tanabe (-1) and Teresa Lu
Sayaka Takahashi, who had chip-in eagle at #18, and Yukari Nishiyama (E)

Yui Kawamoto couldn't get the horse to the barn.
Still a great Tournament for her defending her 2019 win.
