Ryo Ishikawa was a further shot back in fourth after firing an eagle and six birdies to trade with three bogeys on his way to 65.

Three-time Tour winner Taiga Semikawa birdied his first four holes of the day but could not make further headway as his 66 was only good enough to place him solo third on 11-under 269. He fought back with birdies on the eighth and 16th, but if those gains were nothing but a consolation. Once you start, hit Start and choose the Give Up option. Hoshino’s hopes of staging a comeback were fading fast the moment he bogeyed the par-three fourth. To gain easy loyalty with your characters, simply go to Challenge mode and find a VS match to play. I want to take a break and prepare for the next battle,” said Iwata. “Until now, I’ve never won more than once in a year. Win without going out of bounds or hitting a water hazard. He immediately set his sights on becoming a multiple winner in a season, something he hasn’t accomplished throughout his career. Keep hitting GIR and win (similar to 1-4, but bad weather) 4-4. Iwata was delighted to have reclaimed the title he won in 2021 after coming close last year with a solo third finish. He picked up four more gains on holes five, eight, 11 and 12 to pull clear from his closest pursuers and could even afford to bogey his last. Trailing by one shot at the start of the play, Iwata came out with all guns blazing, birdieing his two opening holes to seize the lead and never relinquishing the top spot since. Interestingly, he also lifted the Sega Sammy Cup twice after having claimed his first back in 2015. It was Iwata’s fifth title of his JGTO career, with the last being at the Shigeo Nagashima Invitational Sega Sammy Cup in August last year. The victory propelled Iwata, who had also finished an impressive fourth at the ISPS HANDA Championships last week, to the top of the JGTO Money Rankings. Iwata, 42, had six birdies to offset a lone bogey at the Nagoya Golf Club’s Wago Course for a 15-under-par 265 total, and won by three shots from penultimate stage leader Rikuya Hoshino. Hiroshi Iwata fired a five-under-par final round of 65 to win The Crowns for the second time in three years.
