sakura-yokomine Stories - Hound Dog LPGA
How 'bout That Shinobu Moromizato?
She shot a pair of 64s this week on the JLPGA to match Sakura Yokomine's hat trick of victories in 2009 and move within a few million yen of knocking her from the top spot on the money list. http://mlyhlss.blogspot.com/2009/06/promise-ladies-sunday-moromizato-wins.html
Yokomine Gets Hat Trick on JLPGA, But Won't Be at the Open
As one of the top 5 money winners on the JLPGA, Sakura Yokomine is eligible to compete in the U.S. Women's Open. But unlike Yuri Fudoh, Akiko Fukushima, and Ji-Hee Lee, she'll be playing the Meiji Chocolate Cup (along with Miho Koga). It's too bad we won't be seeing the best player in Japan at...
Yokomine First to Post 2 JLPGA Wins in '09
The weather prevented onechan and me from seeing this in person, but didn't keep Sakura Yokomine from holding off Chie Arimura and Maiko Wakabayashi for her second win of 2009. We watched on tv! http://mlyhlss.blogspot.com/2009/05/kosaido-ladies-cup-sunday-yokomine-wins.html

Ji-Hee Lee Gets Wire-to-Wire/Comeback Win
Yup, both. First she almost gave it away to Sakura Yokomine, then she robbed Yokomine of her 2nd straight win on the JLPGA. 5 bogeys in a row followed by birdies in 4 of your last 5 holes will do that for ya! http://mlyhlss.blogspot.com/2009/04/life-card-ladies-sunday-ji-hee-lee.html
Shocking Win for Yokomine
With Ji-Yai Shin never a factor and Ai Miyazato falling apart in the middle of her final round at the Studio Alice Ladies Open, Mi-Jeong Jeon seemed to have the tournament wrapped up. Although Sakura Yokomine had birdied the 15th to get to -3, Jeon still held a 3-shot lead with 4 holes left to...
