Miyako Reika (都玲華) is making a late push to retain her tour card this season. She has put a new driver and Turtle putter into play and is aiming to win the host tournament. Her physical condition is also improving, and she is determined to make a comeback.
Miyako Reika (都玲華) is in 61st place at the end of the Japan Women's Open and faces a difficult position, but she showed her determination to make a comeback in the closing events, with a goal of finishing at least 55th or higher. Although she was hospitalized the previous week, she has now recovered and said that she is in good condition.
New equipment is also being introduced. The driver was changed to the Srixon XZi RKT MAX, with the larger head and greater stability intended to improve distance and carry. The putter was changed from a TaylorMade Spider to the Odyssey TRTL S to improve the consistency of the roll.
She said that, following advice from coach Taniguchi Takuya (谷口拓也), she has improved her putting on sloping lines and is gaining confidence at this tournament. She is strongly focused on winning her first title as the host player and securing her tour card at this event, and expressed her desire to meet the president's expectations.
