HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif., Nov. 9, 2025 – Srixon staffer Nasa Hataoka is back in the winner’s circle after capturing the LPGA TOTO Japan Classic for her seventh career LPGA title and her first since 2022.

Battling challenging weather conditions that shortened the event to 54 holes, Hataoka delivered a composed, precise performance across all three rounds, to finish at 15-under par. On Sunday, a sudden-death playoff decided the championship and Hataoka delivered in the moment, sticking her approach inside 10 feet and rolling in the birdie putt to seal the victory.
