Saiki Fujita just fired a 10-birdie 63 today that lifted her to -5 at the Meiji Chocolate Cup. She's the leader in the clubhouse right now, but only 2-up on Mi-Jeong Jeon and Midori Yoneyama. With lots of birdie holes ahead of them and others playing well like Yuko Mitsuka, it's anyone's guess how the leaderboard will look at the end of play. More later.
[Update 1 (9:31 am): Jeon caught Fujita with a solid 68 of her own. Here are the top 10 and notables:
T1/-5 Saiki Fujita (76-63), Mi-Jeong Jeon (71-68)
3rd/-4 Midori Yoneyama (69-71)
4th/-3 Da-Ye Na (72-69)
T5/-2 Yuko Mitsuka (73-69), Erina Hara (70-72)
T7/-1 Keiko Sasaki (76-66), Itsumi Okada (73-70), Mayu Hattori (69-74)
T10/E Miho Koga (74-70), Chie Arimura (74-70), Hiromi Takesue (74-70), Akane Azuma (74-70), Yuriko Ohtsuka (73-71), Chieko Amanuma (73-71)
T16/+1 Sakura Yokomine (74-71), Esther Lee (74-71)
T21/+2 Nikki Campbell (77-69), Ji-Woo Lee (76-70), Rikako Morita (76-70), Shinobu Moromizato (72-74), Yukari Baba (70-76)
T38/+3 Kumiko Kaneda (77-70), Yuko Saitoh (75-72), Ayako Uehara (73-74), Akane Iijima (73-74), Mie Nakata (73-74), Yuki Ichinose (73-74)
T47/+4 Rui Kitada (76-72), Hiromi Mogi (75-73)
The cut was particularly cruel to the JLPGA's mid-level name players:
T55/+5 Hyun-Ju Shin (76-73), Sakurako Mori (76-73), Eun-A Lim (74-75), Li-Ying Ye (73-76)
T65/+6 Yun-Jye Wei (77-73)
T73/+7 Ah-Reum Hwang (80-71)
T79/+8 Maiko Wakabayashi (81-71), Mai Arai (76-76)
T85/+9 Woo-Soon Ko (76-77)
T92/+10 Tamie Durdin (78-76), Julie Lu (78-76)
Tomorrow's a great opportunity for Mi-Jeong Jeon to pull close to Yokomine and Moromizato in the wins column and the money list. Let's see if she can do it.]
