She says her friends call her Baba-chan, how's that? Will she compete in the long drive contest? Don't accept any cash prizes and ruin your amateur status.

Strange tan lines in the works
I've noticed that whenever I've seen her. Are her limbs so long they don't make sun sleeves to cover her upper arms? If so, that might be a reason for the "giant" moniker.

Yui Kawamoto plus five tied for 94th search hard to make the cut.
Kotone Hori is ok at plus one.

Kotone Hori is even tied for 42nd place, looks like she will make the cut.
Yui Kawamoto need to make birdie or better her four of last five holes to make the cut. OK! Never mind she just made eight on par five fourteen.

As usual, Lala Anai (center) won the long drive contest ... Aki Iwai (left) was second and Rumi Yoshiba (right) was third.

Amiyu Ozeki is a rookie with three top-tens this season.
Yuka Yasuda (-1) tees off at #7
Yuri Yoshida
Baba-chan bombed out ...
... and her sticks
Na Ri Lee (MC)

Kana Nagai (-5)

Yuna Nishimura (MC)
Hori Two (E) ... and she does NOT wear the same white and red saddle shoes as A Lim Kim (I checked)
Sumitomo means Srixon, that's why Kotono Kozuma was here (DFL) ... and baby bro Jinichiro was kicked to the curb by LIV Golf

The low am was Kokoro Tanaka (+2) (left) ... that's a pretty big trophy for low am ... they usually give out one that could double as a paper weight.

Miyu Goto was right in it until she hooked her ball into the water that runs down the left side of the par-4 18th.
