Hasegawa, a freshman from Gifu, Japan, tied for second in a field of 89 participants, including six top-100 players, with an 8-under-par 208 at the 2022 Clover Cup hosted by Notre Dame in Mesa, Arizona, at the par-72, 6,184-yard Longbow Golf Club.
Hasegawa averaged 69.3 strokes through three rounds at the Clover Cup, opening the tournament with a career-low 5-under 67 and seven birdies during Friday's first round. She finished round two on Saturday at 7-under-par 137, carding her first eagle of the spring season on No. 18.
