Admin’s Note

Saiki Fujita’s performance was commendable, but it also served as a reminder of the importance of maintaining good health. Golf is a sport that requires not only mental strength and technical skills but also physical stamina. Even in the challenging conditions that players face, maintaining health is essential for maximizing their potential. In order for more players to excel in major tournaments in the future, it is necessary to not only maintain their health but also strengthen their support systems. I look forward to seeing Fujita regain her strength in the next tournament and deliver another outstanding performance.
