Sakura Yokomine has made a bid to restore some order to the JLPGA's Miyagi TV Cup Dunlop Ladies Open today. Her 69 brought her to -5, but it took a late double bogey and a final-hole bogey by 1st-round co-leader Julie Lu to hand Yokomine the lead. There was very little movement on moving day, except in the wrong direction by Lu's former co-leaders. Yuko Saitoh and Nikki Campbell led the way with 78s, followed by Rie Murata with a 77 and Mayumi Shimomura with a 75. Still, there are 14 players within 5 shots of Yokomine heading into the final round, so her 1st win on tour this season won't be easy.
1st/-5 Yokomine (70-69)
2nd/-4 Lu (69-71)
3rd/-3 Yuko Mitsuka (71-70)
T4/-2 Miki Saiki (72-70), Momoko Ueda (70-72)
T6/-1 Akane Iijima (74-69), Chieko Amanuma (74-69), Yui Kawahara (73-70), Yui Mukaiyama (73-70)
T10/E Esther Lee (74-70), Eriko Moriyama (73-71), Akiko Fukushima (71-73), So-Hee Kim (71-73), Mayu Hattori (70-74), Shimomura (69-75)
T16/+1 Mie Nakata (70-75)
T22/+3 Campbell (69-78), Shinobu Moromizato (71-76)
T26/+4 Chie Arimura (75-73), Shiho Oyama (74-74), Saiki Fujita (72-76)
T37/+5 Hiroko Yamaguchi (74-75), Kaori Higo (73-76)
T46/+6 Ayako Uehara (76-74), Erina Hara (76-74), Maiko Wakabayashi (76-74), Riko Higashio (76-74) Tamie Durdin (73-78), Yukari Baba (71-79)
Some disappointing missed cuts:
T63/+8 Rui Yokomine (77-75), Miho Koga (76-76)
T72/+9 Yuki Ichinose (74-79)
T79/+11 Ritsuko Ryu (78-77)
Can Mitsuka, Ueda, Saiki, Iijima, or Fukushima make a charge tomorrow and deny Yokomine her 1st win of the season?
