Admin’s Note

The performance of Japanese players at this year’s Women’s British Open is particularly highlighted by the strong starts of Eri Okuyama and Rio Takeda. Having six players finish in the top 10 is a historic achievement, and it raises expectations for their performances in future tournaments. As women’s golf in Japan continues to gain attention, I wholeheartedly support their ongoing success in upcoming competitions. Additionally, the achievements of these younger players will serve as great motivation for the next generation of golfers.
