【Comment from Shoko Sasaki】
Thank you very much for supporting me.
I was able to win the Stanley Ladies Golf Tournament.
In the current season, I could not perform as well as I have expected, being the seed borderline in the beginning of the end of the tour. However, I think this situation spurred and led me to the victory.
Although only a few games left for the season, I would like to do my best to accomplish my goal which I set in the beginning of the year: to win two times in this season.
I really appreciate your continuous support.

Nippon Shokubai will continuously support Shoko Sasaki who is expected to have a bigger success in the future.
