Shaun wanted to stay at home with his new born son, but daddy had to get back to business. Great happiness and good luck that his son has brought to him is working on the course as well.
Shaun closed the 2nd Round with 2 strokes lead and jumped up on the top of the leaderboard.

Shaun started from tough half side of the course. He double-bogeyed the 11th, but he was smart and stuck with his patience against the nasty Okinawa ocean wind. Shaun eventually made 1 eagle and 8 birdies to rap up the round with 7 under, 65.
With all of these highlights, he refrains that par save at the 4th hole on his back nine was the key. His long-shafted putter, the dependable long-time partner, save the day by holing the 5-meter.

"That par save got me going."

Shaun is known to be a big driver, but he is choosing fairway woods and irons in times of need.
"I don't take chances and go for the difficult birdies. I try to play smart."

This is Shaun's third trip to Okinawa. He drove the rental car on his own.
"I have felt the slow and natural tempo of Okinawa people. What they call Okinawa-time."
Warm-hearted atmosphere of Okinawa suits him.
