Starts Friday for a field of 96 ... top-50 plus ties make the cut. Baby Ronni returns to Japan, along with Baba-chan and Yuri. Also, Ayaki Furoo prefers to be here over China. Rieka Miyako is the only amateur in the field ... does she still get a low am paperweight if she make the cut?

It was decided on the second playoff hole ... this is the course with the trench bunker and 1.5 meter-high wall at the par-4 18th green, which led to a bogey for Furoo Yellow ...
... while MeYou avoided it for a par and (incredibly) her first win anywhere in 2024.

I'm drawing a blank on what '55' could mean.
Low am Reika Miyako (-6), who will certainly move up from #31 on WAGR this week.
Baba-chan (-8) was lurking near the top, until she ran into the Green Monster at #18 ... needed two swats to get out of the sand, plus two chunks to get onto the green, plus two putts for a snowman.

babachan aka saki baba had a quad bogey on 18...she obviously tried for the green and ended
up in THE bunker... a par would have put her in third place... instead she ended up 14th...
dont see her listed for next couple jlpga tournaments.... maybe back to usa for q-series...
