Shibuno Hyugako aiming for the first V Golf Japan Women's Open Tomorrow opening October 2 17:53
Hiyoko Shibuno, who is aiming for the first victory at the Japan Women's Open, which decides the best female golfer in Japan, practiced at the venue before the opening of the 3rd, and expressed his enthusiasm, "I want to leave good results to approach the queen of prize money" .
20-year-old Shibuno won the overseas major British Women's Open in August, and won 3rd prize this season in Japan, ranking 2nd in the prize money ranking.
On the 2nd, I practiced at the course in Tsu City, the venue for the opening of the Japan Women's Open, and spent the most time on the approach from around the green, which was the subject, to check repeatedly how the ball was rolling.
Shibuno goes around the course in a relaxed manner, such as chatting with the players who traveled together, and on the 3rd and 4th, he plays with the same group as Nana Hataoka of the same year.
Mr. Shibuno expressed his enthusiasm, "I want to do my best to be able to compete in the upper ranks because I entered a group that attracts attention. I want to get good results to get closer to the target prize queen."
On the other hand, Mr. Hataoka, who is aiming for the third victory of this tournament, traveled alone, and in Green, he practiced putting and taking notes in multiple places assuming the position of the cup.
Mr. Hataoka said, “I am not particularly conscious of going around in the same group as Shibuno. I want to play in my own way and aim to win.”
The Japan Women's Open is scheduled to be held for 3 to 4 days with 120 people from both inside and outside Japan, and NHK will broadcast daily on general television and BS1.
