NW ARKANSAS CHAMPIONSHIP
Golf Asia
|November 2021
Japan’s Nasa Hataoka followed up a pair of aces with a hot start in Sunday’s final round to capture the NW Arkansas Championship for the second time. Hataoka kept the accelerator down, draining three birdies in her first four holes in a closing round of four-under 67 for a 16-under 197 total.
The 22-year-old Hataoka clinched her fifth career LPGA Tour title to go with her first in 2018 which came at the same tournament. “My first win being here and of course the two holes-in-one, it kind of feels like it’s my power spot,” said Hataoka.
The co-leader heading into Sunday’s final round, Hataoka rolled in two hole-in-ones in as many days during her opening two rounds of the 54-hole event at the Pinnacle Country Club in Rogers, Arkansas.
