Salonpas Cup Showdown Coming Soon

Right around the time I'll be putting my girls to bed tonight, the leaders in the Salonpas Cup--Morgan Pressel (-7), Mayu Hattori (-5), and Sakura Yokomine (-4)--will be teeing off in the final threesome.  If they all falter early, it's possible that Young Kim, Ya Ni Tseng, Ai Miyazato, Seon Hwa Lee, Sophie Gustafson, Teresa Lu, or Momoko Ueda could put themselves in the mix in the JLPGA's 1st major.  Or maybe Bo-Bae Song, who lately seems to elevate her game when competing against LPGAers, could walk away with her 2nd major in the last 8 months.  We'll see!  How close Miyazato and Tseng get to world #1 Ji-Yai Shin in the Rolex Rankings will depend not only on how well they play tomorrow in Japan, but also how badly those ahead of them play.
