Munsingwear Ladies Tokai Classic Saturday: Sakura's Back!

Yesterday, Yuri Fudoh threw down the gauntlet in the Munsingwear Ladies Tokai Classic with an opening 63. Today, Sakura Yokomine picked it up and accepted the challenge, taking a 1-shot lead on the JLPGA's billion-yen woman on the strength of a bogey-free 65. Fudoh and Maiko Wakabayashi each made a bogey late on the back to fall back to -12. 4 other players, including Chie Arimura and Erina Hara, are within 5 shots of the lead heading into the final round. Tomorrow should be amazing.

Here are the top 10 and notables:

T2/-12 Maiko Wakabayashi (65-67), Yuri Fudoh (63-69)
4th/-10 Chie Arimura (67-67)
