On a day when most of the first-round leaders struggled, Erina Hara fired a 64 and leapfrogged them all on moving day in the Fujisankei Ladies Classic. Here's the leaderboard:
1st/-7 Erina Hara (73-64)
2nd/-5 Keiko Sasaki (72-67)
3rd/-4 Miki Saiki (69-71)
T4/-3 Akane Iijima (71-70), Shiho Ohyama (69-72), Yukari Baba (69-72)
T7/-2 Nobuko Kizawa (71-71), Ayako Uehara (70-72)
T9/-1 Shinobu Moromizato (71-72), Yuka Shiroto (71-72), Sakura Yokomine (69-74), Ji-Woo Lee (69-74), Yuko Mitsuko (69-74)
T14/E Bo-Bae Song (75-69), Mi-Jeong Jeon (73-71)
T19/+1 Michiko Hattori (70-73), Hiromi Mogi (71-74), Kayo Yamada (68-78)
T31/+2 Kaori Higo (74-72), Midori Yoneyama (74-72), Eun-A Lim (73-73), Mayu Hattori (71-75)
T40/+3 Yui Kawahara (73-74)
T46/+4 Yun-Jye Wei (74-74), Namika Omata (72-76)
T54/+5 Mie Nakata (74-75)
T59/+6 Chie Arimura (74-76)
Anyone within 8 shots of the lead has a chance to replicate Hara's move on Sunday, particularly if Sasaki and Kizawa have as much trouble breathing the rarefied air at the top of the leaderboard as Yamada did Saturday. And even though Hara is accustomed to playing at that altitude, it's really difficult to post two low numbers in a row. So Saiki and Iijima may have the best chance of chasing Hara down, but anyone who can get to -5 or better could still win this thing.
