Reika Miyako, who tied for second place, passed

Only 3.7% of the participants passed the exam, making it “extremely difficult”.

On November 1, the final round of the 2012 Japan Ladies Professional Golfers’ Association (JLPGA) Final Pro Test was held at Oarai Golf Club in Ibaraki. The final round was held at the Oarai Golf Club in Ibaraki on November 1, 2012, and the final round of the 2012 JLPGA Professional Women’s Golf Tournament was held at the Oarai Golf Club in Oarai, Ibaraki, on November 1, 2012. 105 players took the final test with the dream of becoming professional women golfers.

A total of 695 candidates took the test this year. The pass rate was only 3.7%, which is lower than the pass rates for national qualifications that are considered difficult, such as judicial scriveners (4%) and first-class architects (approximately 10%). To pass the Pro Test, one must have the technical skills to fight through four days of world-class competition, as well as mental stability and the ability to concentrate under severe conditions. Only a few talented players pass this test every year.

Reika Miyako (20) from Tokushima, Japan, 4th time to take the Pro Test.

She is a remarkable player who also competed on the professional tour this year, winning the “Daio Kaiun Ladies” on the lower tour in April, as well as the “Meiji Yasuda Ladies Yokohama Tire Golf Tournament” and the “Fujitsu Ladies” where she was the low amateur. She passed the tournament in a tie for 2nd place with a total of 8-under.

After the 3rd day, Reika Miyako revealed that she is aware of her “walking rhythm” as a special “genkatsu-giri” (good luck).

She said, “I am very impatient, so I tend to walk fast. But I try to walk slowly.

On the third day, he also talked about what he does during the round.

I think I hum. I like …… Nagabuchi (laughs), so I was humming ‘Shabondama’ or something like that. I’ll go with ‘Shabondama’ tomorrow, too!

With a relaxed frame of mind, she took on the final day and passed with flying colors. Perhaps this song was like a good luck charm for her.

After one night, she seemed to be gradually feeling joy, saying, “I received messages from many people and saw the smiling faces of those who supported me, and I gradually began to feel the reality of the situation.

After the protest was over, I just kept touching my cell phone, replying to messages and looking at pictures. But I was really tired, so I fell asleep when I came to.

He said he had gone through many hardships on the way to his professional start.

It’s my dream stage, but it was very hard until I got there. I was injured and many other things happened. But it was not a waste of time, and I am the person I am today because of that.”

He also expressed his strong gratitude to those who supported him.

I am happy to be able to give a good report to those who supported me,” he said. I’m sure they will continue to help me in the future, and I want to do my best to repay them in any way I can.”

As for her ideal professional, she smiled and said, “I want to be a professional golfer who is loved by everyone.

As for the rookie tournament to be held in December, “I was a little disappointed this time, so I want to win! I want to win next season. With the confidence she gained through the professional test, she aims to make another leap forward.
