Nasa Hataoka and Yuna Araki Share LPGA Toto Japan Classic Lead; Miyu Yamashita One Back

At 15 under, the pair lead the field. Araki fired 65 with five straight birdies from 2–6, saying “from the second hole… a good flow.” Hataoka posted 67, hunting a seventh LPGA title and second Toto after 2018. They’ll play Sunday with Yamashita, 14 under, fresh off the AIG Women’s Open and last week’s Maybank wins, before home fans.
