It doesn't look like the BMW will be on Tape delay. It appears to be live at 12:00 Korean time, 20:00 Pacific Time each day.

Quick question.
How many of the field have played against the KLPGA at a recent event?
Just curious. 10?

To me it's hilarious that in spite of the lack of KLPGA players, one of the top spots on the leaderboard is still being held by non-LPGA player. Amateur Kim Monsol sits in second place.

Jin Young Ko said that she isn't fully recovered from her wrist injury, and it showed, Her driving average was two twenty-eight, hit only seven greens. She had a ten on par five eighteen, six other bogeys and three birdies.
So Yeon Ryu had a good front nine with three birdies no bogeys. But had three bogeys one birdie back nine, thirty-three putts hurt her score.
Jeongeun Lee6 had four birdies but had three bogeys, a double and triple bogey. She only hit nine greens, with her talent that kind of round shouldn't happen. I think someone said that she is going through a swing change, why, and it's not working.
Now the good stuff, Yaeeun Hong is in the last group. She had a clean score card of six birdies, fourteen of fourteen fairways and 15 of 18 greens. She really needs four similar rounds to get inside the CME top 100. Plus, a good JLPGA Tournament.
A great round by A Lim Kim an eagle, five birdies and one bogey.

Do you mean at KLPGA events this season? Yes. Probably easiest way to find out is to go back through the KLPGA tournament threads on here - LPGA participants are usually listed in the intro post for each tournament.

She had a ten on par five eighteen, six other bogeys and three birdies. Can't just be her wrist. She's been making terrible decisions. That 10 was completely unnecessary. She's gotten more doubles or worse this season then her whole career. She's never been the same since that Van Der Velde moment in the trench in LA when the poor descion-making started. I hope she WDs, it's too painful to watch.

On the bright side, Portland winner Andrea Lee is getting comfortable being in the lead.

I think it was really poor taste to put Jin Young into the same group with two players who might replace her at #1 and who are not coming off of a terrible injury like she is. I can't imagine them treating Annika that way. Under normal circumstances I would have been excited to see a 1-2-3 match up, but not this week. They should have given her a chance to acclimate, and if she is able to get back to her usual level, she can always run into those two on Sunday!
This is the first time they ever had this event with no KLPGA players, and it is the worse for it. I don't know who decided this should be the case, but it feels like the LPGA has been reducing the number of KLPGA players in the field for a while (lately it's only been top players, but it used to be much more). I mean, Hee Jeong nearly won this last year, she absolutely should be in the field.
I don't even know who Min Sol Kim is, and she's contending. The way this kid is blowing the commentators' minds, I can only imagine what they'd think if Yewon or (heaven forbid) Ina were in the field. Guess we don't get to have good things these days.
Hye Jin is somehow hanging in there despite not playing her best. The holeout helped. It feels like we never have a great moving day for the Sisters these days (seriously, has there been a great moving day for the Koreans in the past five months? I can't think of one), but it would be really great to have one tomorrow. Hwaiting!

So Yeon Ryu got to four under par through fifteen holes but made a triple bogey on sixteen. She must have hit a bad tee shot on sixteen because most of the golfers had birdie chances on the hole. Her driving average of 241 on both days was shorter than short hitting Chella Choi of 251. By the way Chella Choi had a hole out from the fairway right after Hye Jin Choi holed out.
Another good round by Yaeeun Horn three birdies and a three-putt bogey on thirteen. She hit fourteen of fourteen fairways again and missed only two greens but had thirty three putts. Watching her for a full round I don't understand why she misses so many cuts. Maybe inexperience in handling things when they go wrong. Because her game seems to be pretty solid.
I really don't know what A Lim Kim is thinking, she would make a birdie. Then turn around and make a sloppy bogey.

JYK needs to run-- not hide from the quack in charge of her wrist. What a shame.
