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.
Her steady excellence was evident from start to finish. She co-led after every round and continued the consistent form she’s shown all season. Entering the week with seven top-10 finishes, she finally broke through for a well-earned win.
Nasa’s performance this week was textbook. Her elite ball-striking and the command she displays under pressure are what we’ve seen from her throughout her career. She’s been playing at a high level all season, and it’s great to see the hard work finally pay off. It’s an exciting moment for Srixon on the LPGA Tour.Michael Jolly, Director of Tour Operations
With a full bag of Srixon and Cleveland Golf equipment, Hataoka leaned heavily on her precision iron play, hitting an impressive 81% of greens in regulation with a combination of Srixon ZXi5 and ZXi7 Irons. Around the greens, she was flawless, using her Cleveland Golf Wedges to convert all four of her sand-save opportunities and keep herself in positive scoring position throughout the tournament.
Hataoka’s victory also marks the second consecutive LPGA win for Srixon staffers. Last week, Miyu Yamashita claimed the Maybank Championship, and she carried that momentum into this week, finishing solo-third just behind Hataoka. The back-to-back success highlights the depth, talent, and momentum within Srixon’s Tour staff.
