Only 2 players Kazuki Higa and Yuki Inamori played without making any bogeys. Both scored 68.

"I am very satisfied to be able to give myself a birdie chances on the 2 toughest holes."

What he is refraining to are, 2 tough Par 4 holes, 510 yards 6th and 505 yards 11th. He had 200 plus yardages left for his 2nd shots, but he safely made it on to the green with his 5W. On 11th, he got to 4-meters, and on 6th he got to 6-meters.

"That 6-meter on 6th almost went in. I couldn't make the birdie putts, but to play this tough course without making bogeys was miracle for me. It worth more than making birdies."

Mr. Accuracy, who keeps the No.1 position for 6 consecutive year says, "I was ablet to play stable and gained good advantage."

He finished last week's Mynavi ABC Championship at 5T and surpassed Takumi Kanaya on the Money Rankings and became 4th.

"It's only the first round, and we have 3 more days to play, so I will keep my pace."

No matter how heated up the Order of Merit race is getting, Yuki will keep his accuracy and pace.
