Ryuko Tokimtasu made big noise on his closing hole. His 2nd shot from 240 yards with 5W got on to 4-meters right of the pin. He nailed that putt and received big applauds from the gathering spectators.

"My feeling was pushing the ball towards the cup. I am so glad that it went in."

With this eagle he jumped up to total 2 under and became 5T going into the weekends.

"Thanks to that big applauds, I will be able to sleep very well tonight."

His heart was warm with the happiness, but also, he looked very warm with knitted cap on him. He did seem over dressed to avoid the cold, and Yuta Ikeda was laughing at him saying, "you have done too much", but this protective outfit gave him great warmth on the cold and windy day.

He had been suffering on his shots since summer, but he says, "it is getting better. I have been missing the green, so I am making much more short games than other players. Since I have been facing many tough situations, I have gained creative shots on my short games. So overall, it not all bad, I did gain a lot. As for the victory as acting Players Chairman, which past chairman has accomplished successfully, I am running out of time. We have only few more tournaments, and I must get it done really quickly."
