This four-rounder starts Thursday for a field of 120 ... top-60 plus ties make the cut. This will be Eight Head's finale in Japan, along with Sakura Yokomine's first start of 2023 ... and roll out the red carpet for Her Royal Majesty Princess Mary Superal, making her first start in Japan since 2019 ... currently #1276 on Rolex, but I really think she has a lot of mojo ... really needs to play more.

In other news, the JLPGA announced that its Step Up tour will conduct the CTBC Ladies Open, its first international event, on May 11-13 at Orient Golf and CC in Taiwan. It will have a field of 108 ... 45 from JLPGA, 45 from TLPGA and 18 sponsor invites.

A few words from last week's winner Hinako Deux, who jumped 313 spots to #174 on Rolex. Coming into this season, she had a pitiful priority ranking and got into last week's event only because Miyazaki is her hometown.
********
More practice -
Yuri Yoshida won't get much sleep if she plans to stay up and watch baby sis Rin at ANWA.
Kana Nagai
Yui next location if she keeps on trunk slamming.

Hori Two (E) with a weathered, chain-smoking looper who would fit in perfectly on the LPGA tour. BTW, Hori One picked up ¥120,000 (about $905 USD) playing against the scrubs earlier in the week.

Yui (-2) ... you're batting .200 making the cut this year. 
SW Bae and Min Young Lee, double trunk slam
Kotona Izumida (-2)
A going-away gift to Eight Head (MC)
Amateur Ranze Usui (MC) ... baby sis of Reika Usui? They look alike.
I assume Ting Ting (E) is allergic to cherry blossoms.

That's ok Yui average making the cut will go up I hope from now on.
But Kotone Hori is still struggling with a plus five today.
I noticed that Princess Mary Superal is in this Tournament, well was because she missed the cut.

There were some unknown faces (to me) in this broadcast, but I have an idea to fix that: while the video is playing, I'll open a browser tab with Getty Images for the particular tournament.

After two playoff holes ...
... Lala Anai picked up her fourth career win.
Low am Ami Yamashita (+10), the only am to make the cut.
A second-straight top-10 for Hinako Deux ... an article says she plans to invest some of her new found wealth by replacing her suitcase. 
Miyuu Yamashita solidified her position on Japan's Intl Crown team ... but probably shocked herself by making three straight bogeys on Sunday.
Minami Hiruta (-3)
Erika Hara (-2)

Last time I checked Yui Kawamoto was minus three through seven holes.
After that she had five bogeys and one double bogey.
Kotone, plus ten should thank Asako Fujimoto from keeping her from dead last.
