Hinako Shibuno (22 = Suntory) finished 20th with 71 with 3 birdies, 2 bogies and 1 bass. Despite being seven strokes behind leader Mao Saigoh, he also created a scene that confused the crowd at the first spectator match in about a year and three months.

[Preguntas y respuestas con Shibuno]

-The first day of the 21-year-old tour

Shibuno I was wondering what would happen if Chipin (a left hook) came out in the morning (No. 1’s first shot), but I’m glad I was able to sink. It’s been a long time (the audience), so I had a lot of fun until the end.

-Graduate of Coach Aoki

Shibuno: He said, “Please come and trust me anytime.” Thanks. You can do it without worrying about it. If I hadn’t failed the 2017 protest, I wouldn’t have been able to go ahead like this (leave a record) I’m glad I fell and met my coach. With the guidance and personality of the coach, I have come this far. I cannot convey this feeling because I am ashamed, but I am definitely grateful to my coach.

-Today it was the same group as Sasao

Shibuno, I was expecting him for the first time. What did you talk about? Hmm … height! The length of the legs and how many centimeters of shoes. What is the longest leg? It’s me.

-Although he was left behind by a great distance

Shibuno, he knew. I thought I had decided to stay behind.
