Pros and amateurs battling seriously on the same tournament is the uniqueness of this new format and 18 golf loving ladies made the challenge among the amateurs.

Kaori and Akiko pairs who played on West Course said, "we just wanted to avoid getting in Pros' ways. Didn't want to make any trouble for them", cared so much for the Pros and not on their games. But they were surprised to see that Pros were so kind and friendly to them.

Naoyuki Kataoka, a winner from 2 weeks ago offered advice and friendly conversations during the play.
"We talked about the excitement on Hideki Matsuyama's victory at The Masters."

Naoyuki himself showed his talent to the amateurs as he made chip-in on the starting hole. He also made eagle on 9th and showed aggressive play to entertain the amateurs.

Naoyuki finished with 5 under par, 15T.
"Ladies were really good on putting, I wanted to get tips from them."

Ladies played 7 over par, 18th out of 23 pairs on the East Course.
"I was really impressed. I enjoyed playing with the ladies."

Naoyuki will play on West Course tomorrow, where so many birdie charges were made today.
"Tomoharu and Shaun scoring 10 under is magnificent. If I could get my game on the roll, I might be able to make big score too. Ladies encouraged me so I am really motivated."

Also, May 20th was birthday of another Pro, Scott Vincent and ladies brought surprise birthday gift for him.
"We had wonderful day playing with the Pros. We will try again next year and challenge to come back again."
