The Yamaha Ladies Open Katsuragi took place on April 3rd at the Katsuragi Golf Club's Yamana Course in Shizuoka Prefecture. Player Shiho Sakaki from Okayama led the first round with an impressive score of sixty-seven, five under par. Born in 2003, this player emerged in the 2024 season, securing her first victory at the Shiseido Ladies Open at the end of June, followed by winning the Nitori Ladies Golf Tournament two months later, and then clinching her third win at the LPGA Tour Championship Ricoh Cup in November with an outstanding performance.

Shiho Sakaki started today at the tenth hole and despite a bogey on the eleventh hole, displayed a strong attack throughout the following rounds. She began her comeback at the twelfth hole and recorded her second birdie on the eighteenth hole. After the turn, Sakaki scored again on the second hole, added a fourth birdie on the sixth hole, and achieved back-to-back birdies on the eighth and ninth holes, ultimately finishing with six birdies and one bogey for a total of sixty-seven, ending the first round with the solo lead.

Shiho Sakaki stated, "I played quite well today, had many opportunities in the front nine, and my putting was smooth in the back nine. Due to the rain, the greens were soft, making it relatively easy to play. If the greens dry out tomorrow, the speed will increase and the difficulty will rise, so I will play cautiously and strive for birdies to maintain my lead."

Japanese amateur player Mana Fujimoto made six birdies throughout the round but had two bogeys, finishing with a score of sixty-eight, tying for second place with Julie Sakuma, Ayumi Tokunaga, and Koki Fujita, all of whom were four under par. Fujimoto mentioned, "Although I had a bogey at the beginning, I played quite well overall, quickly regained my rhythm, and my putting was also smooth. I would give my performance a ninety-seven, deducting points for a ball that went into the trees. In the next three days, I hope to enjoy the competition and transform the results of my training into good performance."

The competition was quite fierce, with just one stroke making a significant difference in rankings, as ten players tied for sixth place. Aichi Prefecture player Uta Anai shot seventy-one with ten birdies and three bogeys, finishing three under par, tying with several fellow competitors. Defending champion Sakura Koibuchi from Hokkaido had a mediocre performance today, scoring three birdies and three bogeys for an even-par seventy-two, tying for forty-first place. From Taiwan, Pei-Ying Tsai started with a seventy-four, tying for seventy-fourth place, while Chia-Yen Wu followed with a seventy-five, placing ninety.
