Daikin Orchid Saturday: It's Now Anyone's Tournament

Friday's leaders Miho Koga and Saiki Fujita came back to the field in a big way and many players made major moves up the leaderboard today at the Daikin Orchid Ladies Golf Tournament in Okinawa, most notably Bo-Bae Song, Michie Ohba, Orie Fujino, and Mi-Jeong Jeon with 67s. Ohba, Fujino, Sakura Yokomine, Shiho Ohyama, and Pei-Lin Yu all eagled the par-5 18th hole, while Momoko Ueda went in the opposite direction with a double bogey on the par-5 11th. With 18 players within 2 shots of the lead, though, this is anyone's tournament! Will this be the first week in 2008 that a Seoul Sister breaks through for the win? Stay tuned!
