In this season’s last Overseas Major, “National Women’s Golf Open” (hereinafter “National Women’s”), Hinako Shibuno finished fourth with a total of 1 under. On the final day, he was expected to get the second big win for the first time in Japan, but he behaved patiently and said, “I’m sorry, but I don’t regret it.”
Beth-Ann Nichols, a senior writer for the American golf magazine “Golf Week,” who has been covering golf for about 18 years, praised Shibuno’s game as “there was guts.”
“The last day was a bit crumbling, but overall the short game was good and the shots and putts were clear when I wanted to decide here, which was wonderful.”
National girls who had to endure golf
Speaking of girls in the United States, it is known that there are many difficult courses with long distances. In addition, due to the influence of the new corona virus, the waiting time was changed in December, so two courses will be held for the first time in history taking into account the hours of sunshine in winter. In addition, the Japanese national team has become a tournament that symbolizes the irregular season, with the participation of 19 players, the most in history.
This year’s setting is Houston Champions GC in Texas. Both courses were difficult courses with water hazards in about half of the holes.
“Originally the summer course is deep and uncomfortable. This week the rough was short so I tried a short game.” (Nichols)
Inevitably, players had to put up with golf.
However, even if you understand it, you cannot fight unless you have the skills to capture it. “The shots that are made and the shots that are made from the wet and sticky grass are good,” said Erika Hara, who became the first big challenge abroad. On the practice field before the game, I was fascinated by the various “approach shots” from Rizetta Saras (USA), who won the US tour in total.
“I learned a lot from impact (clubface on every shot) by hitting the ball firmly.”
Hara suffered a qualifying loss in 152nd place with 19 overs, and realized the skill gap with foreign players.
