Ishikawa wins golf title in Tokai Classic
MIYOSHI, Japan: Ishikawa wins golf title in Tokai Classic, Japan’s teenage sensation Ryo Ishikawa birdied the last two holes for a one-stroke victory in the Tokai Classic men’s golf tournament on Sunday.
Overnight leader Ishikawa hit an eagle, six birdies, one bogey and two double bogeys for a 69 to complete the four rounds with a 14-under-par 274.
Takeshi Kajikawa came second, Shingo Katayama and Yuta Ikeda were tied at third place on 277, followed by Yasuharu Konno at fifth on 278.
“Nobody can write such a scenario,” said Ishikawa.
“But I was able to hit an important second shot on the final hole. I was excited with my second shot. Next year, I will try not to have a double bogey twice in a day,” the 18-year-old added.
It was Ishikawa’s fourth title of the season and sixth overall, and kept him on top of the Japan Tour rankings.
Ishikawa has revived the Japanese men’s game after becoming the youngest winner of any event on the world’s six major tours when he shot to victory in the domestic KSB Cup as an amateur, aged just 15, in 2007.
He finished fifth in last year’s Japan Tour money rankings in his rookie season as a professional and made his US PGA debut this year.
He was the youngest competitor in the US PGA Championship history, at Chaska, Minnesota, this season and made the cut for the first time in his three major outings.
