Comment from CHAKI Shio (a first-year student in the School of Commerce)
This is the last tournament of the year, so I am very happy to win the championship in the tournament that I put my energy into. I was a little nervous because it was a match play and was different from the usual style of the game, but keeping concentration and working hard until the end helped me win the game. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone who supported me.
My goal next year is to win the league and the Japan Women’s Amateur Golf Championship , so I will work hard on practicing and training to improve myself in the upcoming off-season. Thank you for your continued support.
