The Filipino-Japanese Saso, who is now a Japanese citizen, also brought the US Open trophy she won in June last year before she represented the Philippines in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Saso is here to touch base with relatives, backers, and friends before resuming her LPGA campaign in Singapore and Thailand in March.
