Miyu Yamashita "I want to concentrate on playing for two days"
Miyu Yamashita, who moved up to 2nd place with a total of 9 under par, said, "My shots were stable and my putting was good, which led to no bogeys. I'm glad I got four birdies. I still have two days to play. I want to concentrate," he said.
Ayaka Furue, who finished 5th with a total of 7 under par, said, "It was a frustrating day because my shot wasn't very good and I didn't get a birdie chance. I'm in a spotty position, so I want to do my best in the rest of the game."
