Born in Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture, which is the neighboring prefecture of the placeHikari Tanabeshe commutes from her parents’ house, which is about a 40-minute drive from the course.

On the third day, starting from the 27th, he hit an 8m birdie putt on the 2nd (par 5) of the first half to gain momentum, and the 5th made a 120-yard shot 9I at 1m, and the 8th (par 3). So I decided to put 3.5m and extended my score.

Also in the second half, when the high winds started to blow, he took a chip-in birdie on the 15th hole and summed it up as a ’35’, and with 6 birdies and 2 ’68’ bogeys, he moved up to 8th place with 6 at par. “I was able to reach today’s target of 4 under par,” he said proudly to the good score.

In addition, there is also a reassuring partner next to you. “I know this course very well,” said Yuji Sekito, a second-year middle school student from the same city. Sekito is a male pro golfer and says, “Unlike pro caddies, they take belaying from the player’s point of view and do the management as they provide the belaying. They give me detailed instructions on distance, wind and number, so I can strike without thinking about useless things. I focus only on “. Two professionals join forces to face a familiar path.

“I hope we can play below par tomorrow. We will tackle the remaining 18 holes to acquire the right to participate in the first half of next season’s regular tour. (Kasaoka City, Okayama Prefecture / Koshiro Uchiyama)
