Srixon strikes again as Rio Takeda claims second LPGA victory in commanding fashion

HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif., March. 9, 2025 – Wasting no time making her presence felt on the LPGA Tour, Srixon staffer Rio Takeda, delivered a spectacular performance on Sunday to secure her second LPGA title in commanding fashion. Finishing at 17-under par, Takeda capped off her victory with a scorching 8-under final round to pull away from the field and win by six strokes with ease.

From the opening round, Takeda was in full control of her equipment, displaying her accuracy and shot-making capabilities. Her new Srixon ZXi Irons provided unmatched precision, allowing her to attack pins with confidence, while her Cleveland Golf RTZ Wedges provided short-game versatility needed in crucial save situations.

The combination proved lethal, as Takeda hit over 77% of greens in regulation, carding birdie after birdie during the final round on Sunday. Takeda’s rapid rise this season has been nothing short of impressive. With two victories already under her belt, the rookie has quickly established herself as a force to be reckoned with.
