Q. It has been 1295 days since your last victory. Can you describe to us the emotions coursing through you right now?
NASA HATAOKA: (Through translation.) So it's been three years and a half as you said so it was kind of long drought for me so I had a struggle, but my team and my sponsors, like fans, they're supporting me quite a lot. That's why I could win this tournament this week.
Q. We spoke earlier this week that you had put a major point on your putting. How special does it feel to have made a lengthy putt to capture your victory after the playing with Yuna Arika?
NASA HATAOKA: (Through translation.) So actually I hadn't been able to sink that kind of length for many years, for a long time, so I was really happy to sink that final putt. So it was kind of test for me, but it was -- I was happy to do that.
Q. I'm sure everyone is also very, very happy for you. Congratulations to Nasa Hataoka the 2025 TOTO Japan Classic.
