The co-leaders, David Oh and Komei Oda were on the identical rhythm for the first 9 holes on the Round 3.
When Komei gets a birdie on 4th, so does David. Komei goes on to get straight birdie on 5th, so did David. They even had a bogey on the same 9th hole.
They were literary side by side during the moving Saturday run.
"I was glad that I could play well as Komei. It was fun", smiled David.

At the end both finished 10 under in total and became co-leaders for the final round tomorrow. David will be in the final group again tomorrow and will set his target for his victory number 2.

David came to Japan Tour 8 years ago. He has been a familiar face on this tournament since 2013, and this is his 6th appearance in a row, but his 2nd time to make the cut. Last year he finished solo 4th. This year he is again in great position for the win.

"Until now, the memories of not making the cut got back to me, but I am getting to love this course."
David says he is now able to enjoy the beautiful flowers decorating the course, and also the replica structure of "Kyoto's Kinkakuji" on the 13th hole,

"I can feel positive about my achievements in golf now. Or I should say I am achieving it now."

He has been struggling on his swing changes, but it was ready just in time for the season opening. Tomorrow will be the day to really show what he has achieved.
"I will be delighted if I could win the season opening event!"

V2 will be wonderful souvenir for the newly born baby girl Laura
