She wrote on Instagram: “Arigato Japan for an incredible two weeks. The 15th @aac_golf was tremendous from start to finish. Wenyi Ding, the highest ranked player in the field, claimed the Amateur victory he wanted most before turning professional.

We had the honor of chatting with Tommy Nakajima, and saying thank you to Martin Slumbers for his decade of service to the game. Taiheiyo Club Gotemba is a gem and I already miss those Mt. Fuji views.”
