JUN&ROPE', a golf wear brand developed by JUN CO., LTD. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Susumu Sasaki), is pleased to announce that our sponsored athlete, Sayaka Takahashi, has brilliantly won the "Yamaha Ladies Open Katsuragi" (Katsuragi Golf Club Yamana Course), which was held over four days from Thursday, April 2 to Sunday, April 5, 2026.

Starting the final day tied for 9th place, three strokes behind the leader, Takahashi scored a dramatic eagle on the final 18th hole to advance to a playoff at the last moment. She emerged victorious from a three-way battle against pros Yuna Araki and Kano Nakamura, who were all tied at 8-under par, claiming her third career tour win and her first victory of the season.

We are extremely proud that "JUN&ROPE’" wear was able to support Takahashi's performance as she maintained her focus and continued to attack aggressively until the very end on one of the most difficult courses. We will continue to walk alongside athletes who keep challenging themselves through our products that combine high functionality with fashionability.

--- [Comment from Sayaka Takahashi] "Thank you so much for all your support. I didn't think I could get an eagle on the final 18th hole, so it turned out to be a dramatic development that surprised me the most. I was finally able to win a playoff, which I had struggled to do in the past, and this has given me a lot of confidence. Along with my favorite wear, I was able to stick to my own style of play until the end. Riding this momentum, I'll aim for multiple victories this season and keep focusing hard from the next tournament onwards!"
