Nichirei Ladies Friday: Ji-Hee Lee and Miki Saiki Share the Lead

Ji-Hee Lee fired a bogey-free 31 on the back to match Miki Saiki's bogey-free 68 and share the 1st-round lead in the Nichirei Ladies in Chiba, the Full Metal Archivist's neck of the woods. (I doubt I can convince her to catch Sunday's action in person or on tv, but I'll check!) Lee and Saiki lead Young Kim by 1 (thanks to an eagle on 18 by the former LPGAer), Bo-Mee Lee by 2 (thanks to a bogey-free 33 on the front by the dual JLPGA-KLPGA member), and Sun-Ju Ahn, Mi-Jeong Jeon, and Shiho Oyama by 3, among the 50 players within 5 shots of the lead.

As I'm on my own with the girls, in the midst of a minor late-spring cold, and behind on my JLPGA blogging, I'll simply list the leaders and notables:
