NEC Karuizawa 72 Golf Tournament

Overview

The NEC Karuizawa 72 Golf Tournament saw record-breaking performances and rule-related controversy. Yuka Yasuda established a new tour record for fewest strokes after shooting a course-record-tying 61 and a 64, giving her a seven-stroke lead heading into the final day.

During the final round, rookie Sakura Torii was disqualified after officials determined she played her second shot on the first hole from an out-of-bounds zone. Despite Torii’s belief that the ball was in bounds, testimony from five spectators and volunteers confirmed the ball was approximately 30cm outside the boundary line.

Other participants included Shiho Kuwaki, who finished in 42nd place following struggles with putting.
