We’re 36 holes down here in Wales and Miyu Yamashida is making Lynx golf look easy. She’s 11 under par and doesn’t seem to be slowing down. I’m Hope Barnett and you’re watching LPGA Now. Let’s get into it. In the rookie 15 starts this season, she’s had six top 10 finishes. So to say she’s trending is an understatement. Miyu Yamashida fired a bogey-free 65 and only needed 26 putts to get around Royal Pall on Friday. She kicked off her day with a birdie on one and then just kept going. She has the only blemishfree round of the week so far. Yeah. And for her third birdie in the front line. Yeah. Well done. Excellent. Two days of work. You messed up. In solo second is her playing partner from the first two rounds, Rio Teada. Rio carded three birdies and an eagle. Her first one coming on seven. And again today. Next came the Eagle on nine, redeeming herself after a double on this hole Thursday and then two more on the back nine. But Rio is still three back from her fellow country woman with her three birdies and an eagle as well. That’s a round of 69. And get this, the next players on the leaderboard are seven back from the lead, including Kiara Tambberlini, Padrian Rukarn, Lara Funfishek, and Lindy Duncan, while a group of three is tied at three under. I mean, I try to do what I can do out there and, you know, it’s golf. There’s two more days and if I continue keeping, you know, keeping this momentum going and try to make give myself a lot of opportunities, I think I’m going to have some really good two days. I thought 10 under would be about where it’s going to be. Um, so yeah, a couple back from that. I think it depends on conditions and tea times and, you know, a whole bunch of factors kind of how I’m hitting it. If I uh can figure out my driver a little bit, then I think I’ll have some some great chances. Yeah. Let’s take a look at some of the top shots from Friday. We have no option but to start with the holein one from Steph Kuryaku. There’s 100 yards and then a hole out from the bunker 10 holes later. Shot. Oh, she got some spin on it. Did she ever. What a shot. Second eagle of the day for the young Aussie adding that. And Lahi Wde who is coming off of her professional debut and first LPJ win last week had a bomb of a putt on 14. Excellent putt there for her sixth birdie of the day. Just the one drop shot at the 11th. Le player Lara Funfist chipped in for birdie here on the third. Oh what a start on the top tough park for third. And on that same hole Mji Lee was pins seeking. Speaking of Meni, she currently leads the standings for the Rolex Anukica Major Award with 78 points over Mouse Saigo with 74. This is awarded to the player that performs the best in majors this season. So stay tuned because that will be announced once the event is over. This week has already been the ultimate test and we still have two rounds left here at the AIG Women’s Open. So be sure to tune in to watch moving day and come back right here to watch LPGA now.
