The 15-year-old won the three-day tournament by five strokes.
Takai was tied with Jasmine Wong and Miku Miyauchi at 6 over for the event going into Sunday’s final nine holes. In addition to the birdies on 16, 17 and 18, Takai also birdied No. 12 and parred the rest of the holes. Wong finished second and Miyauchi was third.
