They're using the honor system today by putting two sisters in the same group at the start of an event ... I don't recall that being done on any tour before. The third in the group is Saki Nagamine.
Hori One (-1) is up on Hori Two (Even) after nine holes.

Ex-retiree Yumiko Yoshida celebrated her 36th birthday in style
Last week's low am Reika Miyako (E) is leading the amateur race again ... currently 71st on WAGR, which lists her playing only six past events in 2022-23 (all professional) ... played the JLPGA Pro Test last November, results unknown ... has 2,269 IG followers, which I think will go up FAST. 
NO CHEATING! Saki Nagamine, Hori One (E) and Hori Two (-2)
Yui (+3)
Mi Jeon Jeong (-1) ... when the KLPGA invaders show up next week, they might be playing with a touring pro in her forties for the first time in their lives.  
Rumi Yoshiba
Phoebe Yao clawed her way back to being a weekly regular on Japan's big tour, a status she last had in 2019.

Ok is any of my favorites going to play any good.
So Yeon Ryu missed her fourth straight cut with another short driving average.
I bet that she regrets trying to hit longer drives when she was around top sixty in driving distance and accuracy.
Worked for two third of twenty seventeen now she is around 130 in both distance and accuracy.
Back to what I came here for, Kotone Hori made double bogey her first hole.
Yui Kawamoto at plus six, eight on her way to another missed cut.

Kotone Hori survived the early double to make the cut with a late birdie on sixteen.
After shooting forty two on the front nine Yui Kawamoto kept her head up.
She had three birdies one bogey back nine, with birdies on last two holes.
Maybe that will give her confidence knowing that she can score.

I forgot to set my alarm for this one, but it wouldn't have held my interest ... Hori Two and Hina the Face had the low Sunday rounds, but they were so far out of it that it didn't matter.

Yea didn't have to scan the Leaderboard, because Kotone Hori to my surprise was on the first page.
Great final round clean Scorecard five birdies to tie for eighth place.
She took advantage of the late birdie to make the cut.
