Comments from professional golfer Haruka Kudo

Thank you for your ongoing support.

I don't think I could have achieved this victory alone.

I owe it all to the trainers who gave up their days off to work with me, the coaches who practiced for hours even on freezing cold days, and my friends, family, and sponsors who helped me relax with trivial conversations. Even during seasons when I wasn't able to play as many games as I wanted, they continued to support me, which allowed me to be stricter with myself and keep my spirits up.

I feel somewhat relieved that I was able to repay the kindness shown to me by winning this championship.

It's going to be a long season,

I will take care of my health and strive to achieve good results.

Thank you for your support again!
