Major winner and Interview in 3 languages - truly impressive!

[@yuichiwatanabe421]

Agree. I have been frustrated with Japanese sport players using inefficient and sometimes incorrect translators. Sorry Filipinos, Yuka is a Japanese player for us. But, Filipino or Japanese does not matter, she is an attractive golf player and a new star!

[@daijhin3064]

@@yuichiwatanabe421 no ones argue.. Filipino respect her Japanese behalf and acknowledge her Japanese ethnicity nevertheless she's a great golf and the future more championship

[@Tatalino511]

@@yuichiwatanabe421yuka is half filipino and half japanese there’s no argument, but the point of the matter and at the end of the day Yuka chose to RAISE THE FLAG OF THE PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭 than to raise the flag of the rising sun! Now who’s feel sorry?

[@rownaka3119]

She raised UP two ⛳ flags in one victorious....!! "YUKA " MabuheeeeeY

She was born in the Philippines and learned to play golf in Philippines before moving to japan when she was five! She represented japan as much as Philippines do, but you gotta remember where she learned her skills!

Was rooting for you and was really disappointed when NBC suddenly cut the broadcast and so couldn’t see your last playoff and LIVE broadcast victory but happy to hear now that you won!!...CONGRATS!! 👏🙏😊

[@albertcltychen9811]

Yuka Saso is so great in golfing techniques as well as mental management ! Congratulations ! As a member of JPLGA and playing golf in Japan most of the time, Yuka should know the development of Shibuno Hikako now. please consider carefully how to avoid the situation variation as Shibuno Hinako did, who won the AIG women's open in 2019, but she drops in a disaster through changing sponsor, changing golf swing motion, and probably she attended too many activities in TV show. Shibuno san actually has a big danger in her golf life, 殘念 ! Wish you to be great again and again in golf field, by focus in golf , not in fame.

[@alexsamain812]

Yuka is much more talented in my opinion. Her and Thitikul will have battles for years to come.

@@user-qn2zs4mt8x Fr Kyodo News: Saso is expected to play for the Philippines at this summer's Tokyo Olympics. She won two gold medals for the country at the 2018 Asian Games, one in the individual event and another in the team event. Saso, who won the right to participate in the LPGA Tour for five years, is required under Japanese law to choose one nationality by age 22. According to her father, Masakazu Saso, she is expected to choose Japanese nationality.

[@joelbolivar1610]

Do not compare this win to ordinary tournaments. Remember this is MAJOR Tournament

[@mustangc80]

@@joelbolivar1610Geez , I never compared Yukas Championship on Jennifers. Joel, what makes you think i did? As a Filipino, IMO, its noteworthy another Filipina won a LPGA tournament before. Nothing wrong with that. AND take note, I mentioned "Major" on Yukas winning, not on Jennifers. I meant well, Joel. Yukas winning the LPGA Major tournament is a celebration for all Filipinos. and Hopefully, this will go on, along with other talented young golfers in the likes of Bianca, Lois and others.
