Qualifier: Shot 71-69--140 at Boso Country Club (East/West Courses), in Chiba Prefecture, Japan, on April 20

The 27-year-old from Japan will compete in her second U.S. Women's Open, and first since 2020, after posting 4-under 140 in the Boso Country Club (East/West Courses) qualifier in Japan on April 20. Takahashi finished tied for 11th in the all-exempt 2020 U.S. Women's Open at Champions Golf Club, in Houston, Texas. No qualifying was held in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Takahashi, who turned pro in 2018, competes primarily on the LPGA Tour of Japan, where she owns three victories, including the 2026 Yamaha Ladies Open Katsuragi.
