Overcoming an intractable disease called “plataphobia”…《Nana Suganuma, the new idol of women’s golf》”Nana Suganuma’s true face that is not natural

Thanks for always driving.

In her victory interview at the NEC Karuizawa 72 Golf Tournament, her first win on tour, women’s golfer Nana Suganuma (23) first spoke of her gratitude to her father.

When Suganuma was in her second year of high school, she developed “plataphobia,” a condition that causes anxiety in enclosed spaces such as public transportation. Because of this, he is unable to compete in tournaments in Okinawa and Hokkaido, where travel by plane or boat is required. I spent my days participating in tournaments held in Honshu in a car driven by my father, Shinichi, who is my coach,” said a sports newspaper desk reporter.

Golf commentator Ikuyo Shiotani said, “Her mental growth led to her victory.

In the past tournaments, when she made mistakes, she showed glimpses of anger on her face and a little bit of a temper. But this time, she played calmly from start to finish.

Suganuma has been described by fans as a “natural character,” and during this tournament he said that he would “become an idol,” but this is proof of his growth.

Perhaps this is for anger management. By always standing in front of the audience in a positive frame of mind, and by making a self-suggestion to play like an idol who never shows her anger, she has gained the tenacity not to collapse even if she makes a mistake.

The birth of a new heroine for Honshu only.
