It was heavy rain on Day 2 at the VISA Taiheiyo Masters. Round 2 was suspended and the game will restart at 8 am on Saturday.

Shota was relieved that he was able to stay under par in tough rainy condition. Even with the bad weather, many spectators waited for the play to resume. So right after the game was suspended,
Ryo Ishikawa and all of the players gather to do an autograph session for the spectators.

Shota lined up with Ryo and Money Leader Shugo Imahira, to sign the autographs and thanked each and every spectator they met.

After all of the autograph session ended, Shota was ready to get back to enjoy his free time. He says he is pretty devoted to playing online games. He even carries Play Station around on his tournament trips.
"Since I got married, I don't play much, but when I was in teen, I played literary whole day. Nowadays I keep to a small limit and quit when my eyes get tired."

Shota's Round 2 will resume from 13th Tee shot. Hope Shota could keep up the good rhythm on his real game.
