No.2 Money Ranker Shaun Norris in the final group, but without Shugo Imahira, current No.1 along his side, made a great round on Friday.

He made a great birdies from the fringe with his broom stick putter at 1st ,6th and 16th. But he made bigger fist pump at 11th and 13th where he made a clutch par saves.

Tokyo Yomiuri CC was freezing cold this morning with the tough strong North bound wind blowing. The temperature was below 10 degrees Celsius, but Shaun was hot, emotionally and also physically. Cold weather doesn't seem to bother him at all. His family even says, "Shaun's nerve systems for the temperature must be broken". As all of the other players were wearing knit caps, earmuffs and dawn jackets, "I wasn't cold at all" said Shaun. He wore half sleeve shirt and had a light jacket on, but he was rolling his sleeves.

Shaun is determined to overtake the Order of Merit race against Shugo this time, since he had lost to him last year. He is all pumped up with adrenalin.
"After this tournament, I am flying back home. I want to see them soon."

Could he bring back a BIG present? Exciting climax waits for the final 2 days to come.
