Japan Women's Open Friday: Shanshan Feng Only Player Under Par at Halfway Point

Wow, the scoring is even higher after 36 holes of the Japan Women's Open!  Check out how the leaders and big names are doing:

-1 Shanshan Feng (68-75)
E Megumi Kido (70-74)
+1 Na-Ri Kim (70-75)
+2 Ayako Uehara (72-74), Teresa Lu (72-74)
+3 Maiko Wakabayashi (75-72), Jeong Jang (74-73), Mika Miyazato (72-75), Rikako Morita (72-75)
+4 In-Kyung Kim (74-74), Ya Ni Tseng (73-75)
+5 Na-Ri Lee (74-75), Inbee Park (73-76), Ai Miyazato (72-77)
+6 Ji-Hee Lee (73-76), Yuri Fudoh (71-79)
+7 Maria Iida (78-73), Chie Arimura (76-75), Young Kim (75-76), Mi-Jeong Jeon (74-77), Soo-Yun Kang (71-80)
+8 Bo-Bae Song (75-77), Miki Saiki (74-78), Erina Hara (73-79)
+9 Na Yeon Choi (77-76), Mayu Hattori (76-77), Kumiko Kaneda (74-79), Momoko Ueda (72-81)
+10 Sakura Yokomine (79-75), Shinobu Moromizato (78-76), Hyun-Ju Shin (77-77)
+11 Ji-Yai Shin (81-74)
+12 Bo-Mee Lee (80-76), Ritsuko Ryu (76-80)
+13 Shiho Oyama (78-77), Yuki Sakurai (78-77)

And the cut line came in at +11.  So Ji-Yai Shin squeaked into the top 60 and ties.  And given how many people you can pass just by staying near par, I wouldn't say anyone playing tomorrow is out of it!

A +11 cut. What's going on out there. Even at Oakmont the cut wasn't even close to that high.

Was wind a factor? Thursday's sustained winds were listed at 5.2 meters per second (approx. 11.6mph) while Friday it reached 9.0m/s (20mph).

My guess is they may be feeling some early effects from that typhoon that just steamrolled over Okinawa....
