What happened yesterday in Japan

In Higashi-Murayama city, Tokyo, an elderly homeless man stabbed a total stranger in a station square. He told the police he wanted to go back to jail by committing the crime. He had recently been discharged from jail but hadn't been able to find any job. He said he realized the prison was a much better place for him. The victim was seriously wounded but in stable condition.

The Women's British Open is now underway. Its name has recently been changed to include the name of a Japanese photocopier manufacturer that's exclusively sponsoring it. A lot of Japanese top pros are in it and a few of them are faring well so far. It's aired at midnight in Japan and its ratings are exceptionally good for the late hours, as would be expected. A reporter says even half the galleries there are Japanese. I wonder how much advantage these Japanese players are being given. I feel like the Women's Japanese Open in England or something like that might be a better name for it.
