Saki Nagamine (25 = Nitori), who is in his seventh year as a professional, won his first major national title. 5 birdies, 2 bogies 69, 12 fewer in total. He reversed the difference of 2 strokes from the leader before the start. It was the tour’s second win for the first time in two years since Fuji Sankei Ladies in 2018.

Nagamine, who finished playing just before the final group, saw the moment of victory coming out of the scoring office. Tanabe’s birdie putt, coming in one shot, shot out.

“At worst, I’ve experienced it once even in the playoffs.” The first win in April 2018 came after the playoff. A bit of headroom and a sense of excitement. “It was a long time until my second win, so I want to win sooner next time,” he laughed.

In the two years and five months of the blank, younger generations emerged, such as the golden generation, the millennial generation, and the new century generation. I was ranked 45th in awards last season and finally defended the seed. The 25-year-old laughs bitterly, “I’m not young anymore”, “We are all doing our best.” When he was a fan, he gained attention as a member of the national team along with Asuka Kashihara and Kotone Hori.

After the end of last season, I bought a several hundred thousand yen percent swing measuring instrument and, for the first time, seriously analyzed my golf data and washed it again. The result of increased shot precision and putt stability has taken shape. In the N. 1, pour an 8 meter slice line down and start the birdie. On the last day, the 8th par 3 with the greatest difficulty per hole hits a low and strong ball with the 5th utility, which is not defeated by the strong wind from the right, and goes 2 meters to the left of the pin. “I fell in an exquisite place and I stopped in an exquisite place,” he stole from the bird of the self-proclaimed self-portrait.

I would like to thank my mother, Kanako, who accompanied me on the tour and provided me with generous support. My feelings for my father, Kenichi, who takes care of me in Miyazaki, my hometown, are also special. “I always say bad things. I am angry, but when I think calmly, I have never done anything wrong. I take on the wrong role and fan my fighting spirit.” When he’s away, he becomes a practice buddy and supports his own growth.

The second victory of the tour is the biggest national of Japan’s best professional women’s decider. “How great is it to win this tournament? It is an honor. From now on, I want to always compete for the championship and become a player who can always be in the first position.” The 25-year-old, neither young nor mid-career, becomes the “wall” of the golden century, the millennium and the new century.[Yuichi Kato]

▽ The little championship celebration last week was 6. The short iron rocked from side to side and was not on the green. It was a tough day. But even if I don’t feel good, I’m in the top 10.

▽ 7th place with 76 without birdies. The rookie Nishimura with a height of 150cm had a very good experience in the final group on the last day. I want to be a player who can have many of those experiences.

▽ To the same degree as Nagamine, Kimura, who is second at birdie 18, is very happy at the end! I want to improve my shooting ability to make some more birdie putts.
