Still a university student, Tomohiro Ishizaka has good chance for achieving his 1st Tour victory. He played bogey free round with 7 birdies to get himself into the contention. He will be in the final grouping on the Final Round, aiming for come from behind victory.

Tomohiro says his shots were good from the practice range.
"My swing style seems to be back. If I could play like today, I could be able to win tomorrow."

He couldn't get the chance to be in the Japan PGA Championship field, so he had long summer break. But he used all of the time on practice and training at his university.

Silver Medalist for ladies' golf, Mone Inami is same grader in his university.
"I watched and cheered for her. I did send congratulating message to her afterwards, but I bet she really wanted the Gold Medal. I am way behind her. She has already made multiple wins this season."

Last November at Dunlop Phoenix, he lost against Takumi Kanaya in the playoffs. He has finished Top 10 three times this year, and he is playing very aggressive. His motivated emotions are well said, by the choice of his BGM at the starting tee box. It's a theme song from Rocky 3, Eye of the Tiger.
"My father loves that movie. I went to see it with him. "
Tomohiro will be all be pumped up tomorrow with this That music at the 1st tee.

"I know I will be nervous tomorrow, but this isn't my first time to be in this kind of pressure. I will handle the pressure and also aim to score 7 under tomorrow. I hope I could play better than today to make the tournament exciting."
