Shigeo Nagashima Invitational SEGASAMMY Cup Golf Tournament 2019
Mikumu Horikawa's most wanted goal is to get in the PGA co-sanctioned "ZOZO Championship"
"I always have hard times at this tournament" said Mikumu, but he managed to mark 69 on both Day 1 and 2, sits at provisional tied to 3rd, with total 6 under. His course management under the wet condition worked, as he chose to hit his iron shots to the wider landing area to avoid the hazards and hole out with 2 or less putts.
Now, Mikumu's most wanted goal is to be in the field of PGA co-sanctioned "ZOZO Championship".
The tournament will be held in October in Chiba Prefecture, and Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy has already announced to make the appearance. Ticket are making great sales, and some of the special tickets are already sold out.
In order to make it to the "ZOZO Championship", you must either finish within top 3 at the Bridgestone Open, or be in top 7 of the Money Ranking after the Bridgestone Open. Now Mikumu is at 4th on the Money Rank, but there are 7 more tournaments left, so he must keep up the good work.
This season, Mikumu made his first US Open, British Open, and also to WGC game. He has tasted the world class golf. Would Mikumu be able to catch another goal that he admires?
