Hinako Shibuno (21 = Suntory) suffered two consecutive qualifying losses on the national tour. With 77 of 2 birdies, 3 bogies and 2 double bogies, 5 overs in total, placed 65 of 149. He made a series of errors in the approach and the putt was not decided. The drive to hit the second hole in a pro in the first round (R) and the fifth hole in one overall has disappeared. In the western expedition, it was the second national tour of this year, which was the first in four months since the opening match in June, and I was unable to pass qualifying again. The natural glow lurked in the shadows as well.

Shibuno self-destructively with a slight force. The third shot of the fifth par 4. From the front of the green, the approach shot with a 58 degree wedge crossed the pin. He rolled off the green and was 20 feet from the pin. The approach again is more than 3 meters, going back and forth between the pins. He took 2 putts and hit the double bogey. On the seventh par 4, the second shot from the bunker crossed the green and the approach of the third shot exceeded 5 meters. It takes 3 more putts and it’s the second double bogey. The lost flow could not be recovered until the end, and he failed in qualifying for two consecutive national races.

Shibuno How many times should I experience this pitiful feeling? But … This is the skill. Last year it was too good. I can’t move on compared to me last year. But I am very sorry to compare. It can’t be helped if I hold on to myself last year. I want to go back to the beginning and do the best I can for 4 more games (nationals within the year).

Last year, she won the AIG Women’s British Open and won four in Japan. To level up, he practiced his approach so hard that he couldn’t use four 58-degree wedges. I practiced at other clubs, but confessed, “I’m scared. I can’t use it, I can’t have it. I’m not confident. I trust what I’ve used so far. So I can’t go on.” I used a lot of reliable 58 degrees and adjusted for the force of the hitting method, but the missed shot was “heavily entered”. The same goes for Pat, who was fine last year, saying, “Now I’m having a hard time.” Out of impatience, we find ourselves in an even less successful vicious circle.

He got his fifth hole in one in the 1st round, but revealed that “everyone failed qualifying” the last four times. That day, I had no choice but to smile and say, “It’s not good. It’s hard to solve (Jinx).” The next round will be the TOTO Japan Classic with no qualifying losses. “For that amount, you can attack from day one.” Even after qualifying was canceled, he continued to practice relying on lighting and looking forward to the humiliation of snow.[Bunta Takada]
