The victory for which she earned $810,000 was her first this year and her second as a member of the LPGA Tour.

Nippon Shaft’s popularity on the world’s major golf tours grew significantly in 2015, with 106 players on the PGA and European Tours combined utilizing steel shafts built by the Japan-based golf shaft manufacturer, an increase of over 50 percent compared to the prior year when 70 major Tour pros used Nippon Shaft.
“Nippon Shaft is proud and gratified that player usage counts continue to grow on pace with the tournament results year after year on the world’s major golf tours,” said Fukuda.
