CARLSBAD, Calif. (September 23, 2024) – The Champion of the Japan Golf Tour’s (JGTO) Panasonic Open used N.S.PRO MODUS³ Prototype steel shafts in his irons to shoot 25-under par at Arima Royal Golf Club.

It was the fourth victory of the season for the 23-year-old winner and his third in the last four weeks. He shot rounds of 62-68-68-65—263. Trailing by two shots going into the final round, he had to mount his comeback despite heavy rain and windy conditions.

On the Japan LPGA, the 23-year-old Champion used N.S.PRO 850GH steel shafts in her irons and N.S.PRO 950GH steel shafts in her wedges to win the rain-shortened Miyagi TV Cup Dunlop Ladies Open at Rifu GC in Miyagi, Japan. It was the sixth top 10 finish this season for the native of Fukushima, Japan.
