Challenge to the Women’s British Open! Ayaka Furue talks about her desire to win and her unwavering determination “The best moment was when I could read the wind” —————————————— Time to face the dream of becoming an Olympic representative again In 2024, Ayaka Furue once again took on the tough competition for the Olympic representative spot. Three years ago, she narrowly missed out on the final selection for the Tokyo Olympic representative, and that regret helped her grow. However, this time, too, she was close to becoming a representative for the Paris Olympics, but she was unable to grab the ticket. Nevertheless, Ayaka Furue used that regret as fuel to shine again on the big stage. Her first major victory at the Amundi Evian Championship was a symbolic event. Rebirth and growth after the Tokyo Olympics In 2021, Ayaka Furue, who lost in the race to become a representative for the Tokyo Olympics, participated in the Evian Championship at the urging of her mother Hitomi, and won fourth place. Through this result, she regained her confidence and gained the strength to challenge again. This experience was a major turning point for her, leading to her subsequent leap on the LPGA Tour. Breakthrough and new challenges on the LPGA Tour In 2022, Ayaka Furue began full-fledged participation in the LPGA Tour and continued to achieve stable results. Her second place at the Bank of Hope LPGA Match Play and her first victory at the Scottish Women’s Open were proof of her world-class ability. As a result, she continued to achieve impressive results in 2023, finishing in the top 10 eight times and ranking 10th for the year. What is noteworthy here is that through her success on the LPGA Tour, she has gained even more mental strength and technical proficiency. Video: https://youtu.be/nlnpVesuFp4
