Tremendous day for The Land of the Rising Sun
cant remember the last time i saw a ball in the water at 16? ...Xander either went right at it or tugged it a little ...that was a wow, he was classy in the post-round interview
Need some breaks to win a tournament especially a major and Hideki got two at 13- tee shot off a tree ricochets towards the fairway and the second shot over-drew , fortunate bounce away from the azaleas - birdied that hole, could have been a 7!! i think he was REALLY feeling the heat after the 15th. Easy to second guess the second shot at 15, i liked it--he may have got it a groove low on the clubface, that came out crazy hot. ..... Full kudos with bisecting drives at 17 and 18.............so happy for Hideki, the dude will be a rockstar in Japan!!...
big day for Srixon one of the most underated club makers , love their irons !
