Proudly Supporting
Pro Golfer Mao Saigo
Shimadzu proudly supports the dreams of pro golfer Mao Saigo, and we are excited to join with her in taking on challenges.
She never gives up, she believes in herself, and she takes on each new challenge that comes her way with grace and determination. She resolutely takes one step at a time with her dream firmly in mind.
She does this because in front of her, there is a view that only those who have scaled the summit can see.
The next challenge starts from here. So, let us head out, together, to face the world.

Despite the rainy conditions on the last day, she maintained her lead from the first day and secured complete victory! And congratulations to her on winning for two consecutive weeks! The past two wins were upset victories from the clubhouse leader, but at the 18th hole, her smile when she made the winning putt on the final day in the final group was wonderful! Here’s hoping that she maintains that vigor into next week!

On the latter half of the first day, when she was down three shots, tying for third just two shots behind the leader, she felt hopeful and at the same time had a good feeling about the outcome.
On the last day, she calmly read the line for a long birdie, showing us her true inner strength!
We are so pleased with her second win on the tour, which is said to be harder than the first win. -

It was so exciting to see her first win at the Shimadzu affiliated new season opener!
We could sense her inner strength when with cool determination and reliable shots she made par on the 18th hole from a wall-like bunker, after consecutive birdies on the 16th and 17th holes. Thanks for making such a wonderful impression! -

Mao's Message
It is with real joy and gratitude that I sign up as an affiliated athlete with Shimadzu Corporation, with its history of more than 145 years.
From this season’s first competition, the Daikin Orchid Ladies Golf Tournament, Shimadzu and I set our sights on the world, aiming to exceed my record from last season, striving for a first tournament win. Without fear of failure, I’m working to become a strong golfer by taking on consecutive challenges.
