Three Way Tie Atop Leaderboard After 1st Round Of 2011 Mizuno Classic

Momoko Ueda, in 4th after first round

Ah-Rheum Hwang, Teresa Lu and Akane Iijima lead at 6-under after the first round of the 2011 Mizuno Classic. Beside Chie Arimura and Sakura Yokomine, for whom I always root, I would like to see Mina Harigae, currently tied for 5th, finish well…maybe even win. Mina is an American of Japanese heritage. Her parents, both from Japan, operate a sushi restaurant in California. 22-year old Mina, a sophomore on tour, is visiting Japan for the first time since she was 13.

“It would mean so much for me to play well here. I don’t speak a lot of Japanese, but I want to learn more for next year. I understand a lot but I just can’t respond.” – Mina Harigae
