During the 'Bridgestone Ladies Open' domestic women's tour held from May 21 to 24 at the Sodegaura Country Club Sodegaura Course (Chiba Prefecture), Shiho Kuwaki, who has a ball, club, and equipment contract with the company, achieved an albatross on the 2nd hole (491 yards / par 5) on the final day.
Her second shot, hit with the 'BX2HT HY (H4)', went straight into the cup. This marks the 13th time in JLPGA tour history, since Ayaka Watanabe achieved the feat at the 'NEC Karuizawa 72 Golf Tournament' in 2015. Additionally, the ball used at the time was the 'TOUR B XS'.
Please continue to follow the success of our contracted players.

◆Comment from Shiho Kuwaki "The feel at the moment of impact was very good. I hit it into the space I had imagined, so I believed it would stick close to the pin if I caught the green properly, but I was surprised it actually went in. I was able to hit the best second shot with Bridgestone balls and clubs. I will continue to play my best with Bridgestone gear in the JLPGA tour and the U.S. Women's Open."
