the top 10 at the Mori building Cup last week toal winner hosi iata around to 74 to end last Sunday for AO that be Third Time Lucky for the 27y old from aichi certainly would need so much to Sang Lee to get back in the winner circle again seven years from from that win in the rain Sunday at n it’s been a long journey back very talented young man for nine holes remaining at this year’s Hannah bank Invitational who’s going to come out on top just waiting for someone to catch fire on the back nine will it be D Juan Lee he certainly would be the Dark Horse of all dark horses it’s the top 15 on that leaderboard never kept his card on the kpj to actually had to spend some time with the stricks on tour over the last couple of seasons to earn his way back to Korea’s Premier League dong mindle up ahead at the par 313 this one’s going to have to ride The Fringe a lot of movement from right to left and downhill as it approaches the cup got this one on a nice light fantastic put from D min can’t afford to be dropping any shots at this stage of your round dear that could be a rather costly three put Donan Lee slide back to 9 under after that barrage of birdes toar his day it’s going to be second drop shot in three holes I have to say it’s going to be between the top five maybe s Coro kashiro MAA with a string of birdies on the backside could potentially do something magical but really down to one of those five men will be cashing a 260 million W check at Day end that’s the pin on 10 you can see that greenside bunker I’m talking about that players have to avoid where their approaches but it’s just a case of a solid layup first for these boys see he got well down the edge of the Fairway sing a little out to the right that offers him a clear view of the target ahead much like Augusta National you’d have to say namol on the Korean to very undulating Fairway so you have to get used to playing off uneven hanging lies ball below your feet ball above your feet uphill lies downhill lies and understanding how the ball’s going to react off the club face because of a slightly different hitting condition tell you what it’s the best I’ve seen s be swinging in some time have a top 10 finish at that make young open few months back won by Hong Tech Kim current Genesis points leader now for oiso he’s only made three Cuts this year in his seven starts this would be his fourth at eight twice no beat him through 54 holes as a finish outside the top 30 when he has played the weekend very much a man who blows hot and cold on the Japanese tour crazy to think that both oiso and this man Kazuki hia have the same number of top 10 this year just the one for Kazuki no miscuts but for really threatening to mix it’s the best chance he’s had in 2024 but doesn’t like that just turns it over it’ll stay in the Fairway though the man from Okinawa let’s jump up ahead check in on shuna takasu for the first time this Sunday he’s been sliding down that leaderboard now back at three underpart is sha want to look out towards the right edge of this green hope for a friendly kick that’ll do for the 31y old good shot this is going to be slow for have three 36hole co-leaders here Roi aat had a very disappointing round of golf yesterday took a seven at the 12 but that oh unlucky well there has been a debate these days on whether you should take the flag stick out when you’re putting or not and we’ve been told now that science corroborates the fact that you actually should it will tend to do more harm than help so keep that in mind the next time you’re teeing it up just going to be that power for Hoshi AATA stays one under for his round MAA hook Li to a right pin with the green pitching from right to left he is done excellent fine shot that’s another colossal t-shot from youin Chang he leads the Korean tour in driving distance this’s going to be coming out of the rough so just be wary of that jumper okay could catch the slope don’t go too high up come on back oh no that’s a little unlucky that is going to be a diabolically slick putt for Chang ke to see that brow shot left of the pin he’s got a carry there if he pitches it on that it’s going to kick straight right on him inch perfect from Kazuki hio there’s been too much wrong te to Green forer this week it’s just been that clap in his hands right now that has refused to cooperate on more than one occasion s about 10 yards closer ball a little bit more above his feet I always found playing of full wed shots of the ball above your feet a little bit uncomfortable because every now and then there is the tendency for that toe to dig in a little and shut the club face down kept it nice and square there with that abbreviated follow through doesn’t find the middle tier he knows that’s not going to be an easy put go back up to 13 the birdie putt for the man who applies his trade on both tours in Korea and Japan Yong Han song 2016 Singapore open [Music] Champion seveny year windless drought last year at thec danan austa championship in Japan for a second jgto win oito last to go into 10 not really scaring the hole but importantly he’s in that middle level I just need to touch this one yubin it will gather Pace quite quickly oh my goodness you been Jang that putter is sizzling hot on Sunday that’s back to back birdies to begin his inward half and he grabs a share of the lead with Takashi o jiso song Kim well traveled veteran 48 years of age still winless in his career but having a nice tournament this week in chunchon my to match the hot backline St of YB been Jang okay I said he’d need something special on the back KN so far so good don’t want me 12 has been a very tricky hole this week crumbly green so hard to find that higher left section where the pin is today to it left and a short side at Miss that’s going to be a real test for Dungan takasu best finish of the season on the Japanese tour was a fourth place finish at the canai open he’ll get himself to fall under power with that birdie first of the day for sha s Le from the upper level of this 10th green for birdie [Music] idea of the severity of that slope it looked like it was going to stop rolling about 10 ft short of where it actually came to rest it’s pretty well judged not sure if tekashi oiso knows he has company at the top of the leaderboard that’s these sort of putts that you actually don’t mind you’re sitting up top so gently downhill tend to putts short under pressure just get a bit of tension in the arms and shoulders so this will have enough speed to get to the hall and for a right-handed golfer putts that move from right to left PS they break towards you just optically so much more pleasing it feels like it’s easier to start them online reallyy good roll and a good try for aiso [Music] the second go in the row it’s a good opportunity for Kazuki hi got just to keep Pace with the co-leaders we’ll have minimal break on it can start it inside edge with speed one of these three players with an uphill Putt and finally eager gets one to drop back into red figures for the final day it’s within two have been a lot of conversations Through The Years about how the two years of mandatory military service here in South Korea really can derail the few careers we’ve seen some great golfers you know go into the service and you come out with no no game whatsoever think of the likes of no Yul bang Moon didn’t look like the most committed stroke but he’ll pick it out of the bottom for sangili must to say that but sang Moon had a nice tournament last week at the kpga championship he’ll be teeing it up next week in the colon career open he’s got this week off now Dungan I think he needs to skip this one through that hairy Fringe and just chance it the only way to get it close not a bad shot but another one of those testers remaining for d one is getting awfully tight at the top of that leaderboard the fifth birdie of the day sees yubin Jang move alongside overnight leader Takashi o jiso with sangili and Kazuki Higa breathing down their necks for for for for for for can Jang continue his hot play in this final round he split the Fairway at 12 just 156 left and this is where he’s really got an advantage much shorter Club higher trajectory a lot more spin can he hold it in that on that little ledge r a high cut into that pin just a little shy and that’s going to make its way back towards the front of the green green regulation but that’s not a secure part just yet for the 21y Old Co leader at least a club shy there I in full position off the 11th [Music] [Music] G so with hybrid should be able to get it to the very far portion of that Ridge just before the Downs slope using the much flatter line so a broke a little bit low off the face and off the heel but no harm done golf you find it’s not how good you hit it it’s how good you miss it so Faro’s misses aren’t really costing him too much sangi with a similar choice of club that hybrid five wins by the edge of 25 in the kpg that one just a little white sitting up okay although right rough not really where you want to be coming in from to this right pin at the 11th it’s just one of those putts for in Chang you know predominantly it’s going to move from left to right you can see that slope about 15 ft in front of his ball but you send this too far out to the left and it doesn’t break back it sort of goes straight and even tries to funnel off the left edge of the green start this too far right would not enough speed it’s going to ride that Ridge and Tumble off right such a speed dependent pu this from 60 ft there not enough speed from Jang see on Kim the elevated T on the PA 3 13th how far back he’s got the ball in his stance hand really far forward gets it very steep through impact butless to turn really hard left open Club face try and hold it square for I think the PA three is pretty well this week done one we it’s courtesy of two birdies on the difficult 17th which are the first two rounds make that par saving putt back on 12 to stay at 9 under [Music] look good in the air but it’s going to come up 50 ft short oh great part there by a continues the hot start to the back nine three birdies in a row it’s up into a share of fifth see want to try to cut one in here start it in between the TV Tower and the flag see really holding that club face open just refuse to cut so J huge putt for p to stay in a share of the lead know what sometimes those putts for par do so much more for your momentum than holding putts for birdies it just preserves the hard work that you’ve done to get yourself in that position it’s a good tart that keeps him level with this man he’s throwing darts at it great shot in from moiso got to be a quick putt but little bit easier than ybin now cannot see the target at all always makes these a little bit more uncomfortable sitting down at that right r as well for sangi for solid round from Yin Park and sha Norris 67s for the pair of them leave them at seven and 6 under power respectively all time kpga to winner kungum Kang 68 so he’ll end his week inside the top 10 stamped one of two tickets to the Open Championship at Royal Liverpool last year with his runner-up finished to Sun suan at the colon ker open S he very slow part here got a absolutely bludgeon this coming up this hill proper spanking still he’s it a good six feet shot D le left rough on the 15th tangly looking light he go s the spot to sang he would have seen s’s ball labor up that slope that one hit with a bit more Authority what a try from Kazuki heager fantastic effort from long range so P keep him two back for the moment a jisa with a birdie pot to come this one going to be just gently downhill for oiso should just want to Teeter to the right as it loses pace oh clutch from tekashi jiso a birdie that draws him up to 13 underpar you been Jang one shot back unbeknown to the leaders birdie he’s up ahead at 13 with his slow right to left PT over that mound it’s a good positive roll be a little bit too positive another nerve jangler coming up for dongan sangi doesn’t want to let oiso ride off into the distance these pass saing putts just as critical okay bit more conviction in that stroke and the 32y old lead after that Wayward chip D le now has this for par at 15 [Music] again for man has only made two cuts this season this is one of the more lucrative championships on the kpg tour this is a huge day for D le just to find Bank some very valuable Genesis points just take some stress off the later part of the season when it comes to trying to do what he’s never done and keep his tour card by finishing inside the top 65 on the points list that’s a nice pass saving but for Lee and next ported C for our final group The 429 M1 12 so it just goes straight away and just keeps on going Fairway pitches slightly from left to right but you want to be down the right half of the Fairway if possible just to try and give yourself a slightly better angle into this left toe location it’s only five from the left Edge almost at the highest point of that green you can see it right there on the precipice of those two collection areas short and to the right see if heer can build some bed after that Birdie on 11 he’s got the honor and the driver seem pleased with it can’t imagine why that is fine down the right half of the Fairway the hard charging MAA has reached the 13th G haven’t seen anyone pin High yet on this par [Music] three it’s a pin high but just a little left [Music] leads by one again slightly into his face on this par for seen a lot of balls this weekend up in that left rough it’s pretty dense there as well Jang likes to hit a little cut with his irons despite that strong left hand grip so pin on the right should set up nicely for him abbreviated follow through trying to flight one in again bang online but just a club short s he a little bit shaky off the te with his last few [Music] swings that sets things straight at 12 a pair of Koreans and a pair of Japanese players and the top four on the leaderboard the battle for this year’s Hana Bank Invitational we’ve had a Korean winner of this Championship we’ve had a Canadian we’ve had an Australian we’ve never had a Japan Japanese player LIF the hanab bank Invitational title but it’s a Japanese that leads at 13 under with seven to play for for for for for for so here go slightly mishit t-shot leaves him 179 M into 12 that one sounded like it was struck sweetly he’s keeping a Keen Eye On It Just a Touch left for heager you can send this one out right some Pace just never got that one up high enough right off a slight up slope just going to help him Elevate this one up get to come down a little softer pretty good ler as probable as this would be this 35 footer is for four in a row s perfect position take advantage why did that TV tower is the line oh threw a dart at it gets it to stick a fine shot from Sang Lee tenative of that birdie effort this one Al for par okay walk that one in confidently good two but s on Kim off the Downs slope at the 14th it all the way onto the back shelf of the green fine shot which is going to keep getting better and better and better stuff from the Wy veteran Jang for at [Music] 13 struggle with the pter in the past it’s been pretty solid since he turned Pro so let’s hope those demons have been exercised cabage Ling the rights fixed up for danan Lee has that got enough momentum to stay up no not going to get relief off that drainage cover so it’s more of a mental obstacle than it is a physical one here for Kazuki Higa your ball must be either resting on it or your stance must be affected by it make short work of that little pit shot nicely played made birdies in a row to get him the right side of par sheot hitting up the right hand side of the 14th so outside chance to extend his Advantage at the 12 line look good just a little lacking with speed speed he gets here shorish back swing rips at it through it impact but this one hitting right there’s a bunker up there oh was actually turning over we were fooled by our shot Tracer that’s okay these are the chances you have to take if your sang Le good t- shot excellent approach got to give this one a scare oh it’s just going to wander away remain stalled at 11 underpar from the middle ledge of 14 D Lee with a slow putt up and over this rise should be working from right to left get try don’t want me then it’s going to be a stressfree bar for the first time in a couple of holes G so just looking right of Center for this POA okay he’s not beating himself as he was last week at the Mori building cup someone’s going to have to come up and get him as he go also settles for a four s on Kim get himself inside the top 10 here very good approach those hands very low in the toe of the putter well off the ground not a setup style you see all too often in the modern game one that works pretty well for sing young Kim nice birdie for the 48y old this really pretty par 313 to te up from way up above the level of the green it’s 187 M today but again plays a whole lot shorter due to that drastic drop in elevation bunker right water right of it don’t think that’s going to come into play for these three in the final group the pin today on this par three in that little back right corner haven’t seen anyone too close so far in this final round second hardest hole this Sunday just four birdies recorded third of a shot over its PA [Music] yesterday it’s been a very solid display of ball striking from tashio G he missed one Fairway in the third round that came on the 18th hole by about 3 feet take anything pin High 20 ft left here that would be a good shot don’t need to take it at this flag not with the trouble that looks right of [Music] it for that to go and tell you what we’ve seen some players come up short today that was at least two clubs short really nice round of golf from former winner here Richard Lee 66 for the Canadian leaving in Solo 7th at 8 under [Music] par that’s would have been good for Thursday’s pin on that left half of the green not so much for Sundays SP [Music] he had a front row seat to the game of tekashi oiso the last two days two had never play together in their careers thus far [Music] sort off the follow through there that’s pretty good just a little left but considering the pressure in the situation that’s okay for sangi now made up 14 downhill L to an uphill green with the pin tapped on the left start this right of the TV tower try and rake a draw around pretty fine shot just going to go tumbling through the back of the green but it’s a makeable little Chip Shot up coming for MAA jck looks like he’s taking dead aim here 131 should just be a a solid n iron up this hill fabulous stuff from yubin Jang he is really piling the pressure on to Kashi oiso in this final round supremely talented youngster turned Pro towards the end of last year and really has been on fire at the right time this week in chunchon was in 67 yesterday that got him into the penultimate group that wsh shot setting up a birdie at four another excellent approach yield another birdie make it back to back birdies with this nicely H putt at the E went out in three and path 32 gave himself a look for about 12 ft at the 10th and this was a real bonus birdie that he held from the top top side of the hole at 11 that one moved him into a share of the lead with tekashi oiso oiso would respond in kind with a birdie of his own at 11 but Jang Now with an opportunity to draw level with the 27y old man for maichi once more at the start of the day ojo’s mindset would have been Catch Me If You Can well euben Jang is certainly trying his level best now two oiso chipping it from the front edge of 13 see that pronounced slope so try to dump it on the crest of it maybe about 5 six feet right of the pin and just have that collect down a took a pretty big first bounce that one’s going to Go trundling On by for chisos under little pressure here I said this was makeable for my pitching back into the slope oh he’s almost proved me right what a try from MAA iant effort indeed now he got even though he’s coming downhill last couple of feet going to be pretty flat so this ball going to be slowing up significantly as it approach the hole nicely judged Pace Kazuki he you been Jang to tie the lead once again see a good amount of left to right in this for the youngster got it yubin Jang Tio jiso again at 13 under par this is some special display of golf from Young yubin this afternoon he has risen to the occasion heat of Sunday pressure seni going be moving right to left as it comes down that Ridge [Music] [Music] oh tun no former winner of international series Korea on the Asian Tour on the island of juu a few years back that’s a nice birdie J so make Ain a share of the lead real testing put here got to keep that putter face accelerating oh just catches the right Edge very [Music] good this is awkward to say the least for dongan Lee hands almost at the level of his knees that pins and that ball on the right hand side of 15 we pitch this in the middle and just hope it takes a friendly bounce towards that area well he’s leaked it right at the green and that’s actually not terrible where he is sanki finds himself two back of two players [Music] you’re not going to stick around for that that’s also going to be a PA for [Music] him to your new Championship co-leader euin Jang comfortable looking t-shot for the fader of the golf ball start it left just let it slide with the shape of the hole [Music] I’d love to be 21 again and possess that kind of talent the speed but also the control that this young man has just a wealth of experience another terrific product of the Korean national team program here in South Korea it’s produce its fair share of stars Through The Years goo just runs wide of the Fairway at 14 my ad up look to follow Jang down the left [Music] side it’s getting a little bit hot and muggy out there approaching the height of Korean summer so rather humid and warm for these players important to try and keep those sweaty Palms dry yeah sanki ideally you want to just start it at that right trap and turn a little draw off that with the shape of this par for I think a golf cart moving in the back is putting sangi off it C parts are an awfully close to some of these t- boxes that Bo is really starting to pick up that one out to the right for sangi and oh dear oh dear oh dear it looks like that’s gone into the thicker shrubs he is coming unstuck a little on this back mine how thick that foliage is it’s one of those cases where maybe you don’t want to find it if that provisional ball ends up in play and he had to back off with that little distraction the first time and then right as he got in over it caught a big gust of wind leaked it out to the right so this is a provisional again even if this one’s right down the pipe and they find that first ball this one will not be in play [Music] why why can’t I do that the first time every golfer’s been there everyone’s thought it d one Le up 15 could he carry it onto the scen with a bit of Checker do you want to try and bump it into that slope in front of you bumped it into the slope and unfortunately took a pretty hot bounce jinho Choy former Genesis points winner couple of years ago blown hot and cold since went off to Europe for a couple of Seasons lost his game and card there playing back fulltime on the Korean tour and showing signs of a healthy return to form an IND ation of how this Breeze is starting to pick up and swirl a little around n joh just an added layer of difficulty for these players to try to decipher as they make their way towards the clubhouse Choy at the moment just outside the top 10 a birdie on 18 would get him inside it’s too under the car today today on 18 in a very accessible spot front of the green 63 M left for Jin hope should expect a good amount of spin on this hello down you come almost too much spin there for jino Choy does keep the fans around 18 entertained I it likes an Asian Gallery like ton of Back Spin from the upper level of 15 S Young Kim this one’s going to go racing down once it hits that slope watch that watch this really he could not have hit that any softer there’s the slope in the middle of that green too severe some might say yes and I’d be inclined to agree with them so we go back to 14 and he go second not going to have enough o on it to make it onto that third tier of this green another testing parut for dongwan Lee so just inside of 10 ft like a little pace could be getting expensive for Dungan five in a row to start but three Bogies from the ninth onwards leaveing outside the top five G so just into that first cutter rough Li’s not too bad but still has to look out right and a little bit long [Music] that’s just carrying a little bit too much pace and that is going to be slippery now for par Kim at 15 yeah great t for sing Young s Le lost that first ball so provisional ball in play now hitting four almost want to start this at the left of the two carts you can see parked at the back of the green that one out a little bit further [Music] right that’s not going to make it up either t-ball on 14 could be a fatal error for the 32y old from Soul laying the face wide open here takes a lot of guts to play a shot like that good technique good execution that left for birdie so sanki having some troubles on the 14th it’s Jang and oiso tied at the top with higer really unable to make any sort of impression for that top spot here in the closing stages of this year’s Hana Bank invitation now MAA all below his feet coming into 15 and coming out of that thickish left rough coming out of the rough un aable to get any sort of purchase on that once it did hit the green scooting along to the back Edge now J just has to be wary of a similar type bounds you can see aiming left me looking to cut across this one with an open Club face Hike It Up in the Air it come down as soft as possible it’s going to catch that slope but has it got enough momentum to catch the one that matters the answer is no he’s on the green but we saw from s on Kim how quick that put’s going to be anything for the top side be lucky to keep it within 6 ft so both Leaders with work out for them to save par as we go to the players committee chairman seil Kuan will be nominated this season for the former champ former players chairman I should say big Won Lee now holding down that role charge of player welfare tour Affairs pension fund important stuff jino Choy on the 18th for a top 10 finish he’s going to end his week at six under par still a a decent outing for choy [Applause] nice work in the weekend 6869 for Jin hope take some confidence into city of shaan next week at bujang Hills ton no just made a great birdie at 15 is for another at 16 very nicely done he was one of those players two years ago along with young juli minguo and eventual Champion minku Kim who involved in an epic scrap four-way scrap Down The Back Nine at U Jong Hills ultimately minku Kim prevailing in a three Hill aggregate playoff over mingu Cho for the national title dong M will join jino Choy in a share of 12 at six under the ground of 69 for dong min only way to get this one close I think is the high flop shot can’t run it cuz it’s going to carry too much speed coming off the back side of that hump that is a Sublime shot under enormous pressure for tekashi so fabulous this countrymen May up one of those puts where you know it’s going to move right to left and it will be coming down Hill for the last 20 ft but the higher up you play it so what the steeper part is look the more speed it’s going to carry as it gets down to where the pin is that’s this inside of 5 six feet he has done an excellent job arue the fact that that’s so was like a layup put really just trying to Mo your in a spot underneath the hole with the least amount of break sang he lost his t- ball is for bogy more than likely going to drop at least two shots at this 14th [Music] [Music] good Pace on that it’s going to be a double bogey six could be a very costly one indeed s you’s got a very similar quandry to what just faced MAA really the only way to get this close is not going to please any green Keepers you would actually have to chip this nit this absolutely perfect pitch it in the flat around the hle the slope between you and the cup doesn’t affect it at all but that’s a hard shot to pull off on a regular day let alone under pressure so this is understandable from Jang send it out right and hope this comes to rest quickly look likely to stay on the green there oh dear oh dear been watching the US Open at pineh Rory mroy in the second round and I believe it was 17 puted it off the green then chipped it back in for par so it is possible now heager on 14 carrying a bit more speed and sangi leaves but oh watch out Kazuki heer that’s a bit of a miscue so jang’s fourth now and he just puted it off the 15th green it’s funny with the way that some of these golf courses are set up at the kpj toour this is actually an easier shot than the putt he just had on the green all uphill just wants to kick a little right once it gets on the green decent try but he’s going to surrender a share of the lead that bogey at the 15th now he got important pass saving par for him don’t want to be four back with four to play task becomes that much harder sangi’s misadventure off the te heager misadventure on the greens could spell the end of both their challenges this MAA looks to complete his two put forart up ahead at 15 great twoot indeed from kushiro MAA he’s hanging tough after a bit of a tumultuous end of the front [Music] line just a little wide but in she goes for oiso sits alone at the top of the leaderboard once again [Music] double b six that spell the end sanki Le’s B to end his windless trout two will tumble back to 9 under veryy much looking like a two horse race just four holes left to play in this Championship tun o he just looks a little fidgety standing over his iron shots 30 15 16 and an excellent t-shot at 17 ni done one pretty poor light right rough at 16 pins got close to the Bunker’s short left way to stop this is with a great deal of elevation maybe clever use of the back stop as well really good shot from danan Lee so on the difficult 15th hle finding the Fairway absolutely critical here one hand off the club is he leak this one right no it’s just going to settle up in the left rough to S Young Kim at 60 should get a good amount of spin on this coming from the short grass nothing for it now CU if he trying to think birdie home and hope for the best tough AR with now standing on the T of the hardest Hall at num jum [Music] that’s been the culprit this final round for San Le that driver over the last two hours has not been his best [Music] friend proud like it I don’t think sanki shares that sentiment that’s why up into that a popular spot on the the hill left of the 15th Fairway MAA is going with a hybrid on the 16th hole he’s birdied this hole each of the last two days tugs that left that’s going to skipping Along on that cart path he going to get a little extra distance but you want that ball to finish on the right side of it so he can drop it in a flatter spot don’t think it’s done rolling yet should be okay there two good shots into to 18 for hun Wu Yu this is for Eagle that’s going to be wor some cash well done you an eagle three to finish a one underpar round of 70 and a top 20 finish for him W you accuracy isn’t his Play It’s power pretty much a a student of the modern game you been Jank if you’re coming out the rough if you’re doing so with a a much shorter Club than someone 50 yards behind you in the Fairway statistically proximity to the hall wise you have an advantage you can certainly lack at it it’s got to cover those bunkers around the corner of this dog leg absolutely left nothing behind there took a mighty swipe at it but he’s going to find the last of those bunkers and now that could get a little awkward it’s going to be a less than full yardage he has in to this green pitched above him s how do you get it close out of this left rough to today’s [Music] pin came out low and left on him see that huzzle we need to get grabbed by the thick rough very quickly for birdie at 16 song [Music] Kim not to be so also from the left rough bit slightly worse lifee for tekashi jiso sound like a better strike than sankis and that is in an excellent position there that’s a good leave you’re almost better off missing this green right than you are hitting the middle of it it’s a huge part for dongan lead this to grab a Sher of third just seen s on Kim’s ball dive left at the cup oh but dong wans stays straight he can’t believe it a great try it’s only going to be a four now he got from this angle he can go a little bit longer this flag and use the slope just past it that has caused all sorts of problems for the players who’ve hit the green catches a fly that goes tumbling off the backage now for Kazuki he go very much looking like a two horse race with just a couple of holes left to play nice rounds from Richard Lee and taii nabani see them onto the first page of the leaderboard but will it be tekashi oiso or yubin Jang both seeking their first professional victories in the closing stages of this year’s hanab Bank Invitational for for for for for he’s taken its relief off the C part just 42 M left for MAA he’s come out low really low that is a little clumsy sanky look to pitch this just on the top of the plateau have it tumble down that slope tell you what this isn’t a bad shot should catch the slope there it should start to funnel really nicely played takes a lot of creativity to even see a shot like that been CH there actually in the first of the greenside bunkers so not as hard of a shot as I was making it out to be still he’s going to need to cck this one quite nicely he has to carry it onto that middle step of the green there is no chunk and run option here he has the margin for error a little bit long there that slope about 5 yards past the pin likes him just came out with no spin whatsoever still he’s presented with a good birdie opportunity heer does he want to send one out right or does he try and play it at the hole with pitch it a little bit further onto the green with some spin there’s your answer oh what a shot terrific shot from Kazuki hea took the braver of the two options and he certainly pulled it off D Lee 17 with the pin in the front right today played this hole pretty well all [Music] week that’s not where you want to leave it you can hear the frustration from dongan I either send this at top the top of the slope the spine just have it hang left and funnel on down so under normal circumstance St is a pretty basic up and down for tekashi jiso Sunday pressure different kettle of fish though Hey sir has some nerves of Steel like that with good acceleration tayasu back at 3 under again this quick one for birdie at 16 nicely cozy down there for sh takasu money and points earned going to count towards the order of merits on both to us in Korea and Japan sang HEI for his part at 50 just an outside left Edge butt got to keep your speed up here way more of the hole than he should have disastrous couple of holes for sanki lead double at 40 bogey at 15 as he freef falls down that leader board big moments now for euben J S on Kim’s part Dove left don’t want Le’s part staying straight what is jangs going to Do’s hold his fair share of Birdie puts today six already it’s for a seventh of this to reclaim a share of the top spot no it just just wiggled low a great try it’s good positive stroke that’s goal for you you can do everything right sometimes that silly little white pill refuses to [Music] cooperate look at the reaction here thinks it’s in right there just starts to theand the left keep be a good attitude though no shaking of the hit no slumping of the shoulders he knows he’s got the power to reach 18 and two and with his front right hole location on the Sunday Eagle very much a possibility for that’s another really good tart from kushiro MAA he’s not making it easy on himself but but is bealing out of some problems this afternoon now hega for his part to stay level with MAA at 9 under [Music] good stroke making power on 15 today is like gaining half a shot on the field don’t tell Kazuki Higa that right now he’s still seething after that three putt at the last jiso for another really good up and down okay Takashi oiso three holes left to play One Shot cushion don’t want Lee everything sloping away from the 37y old here has to land this short just’s have it tumble under the green settle settle that’s why he was so very displeased with that t-shot he knew it was almost an impossible leave right of the green now tun Oak second shot into the 18 look at this shot look at this shot from tuno showing you what’s possible on this closing hole love a reachable par five to close out golf tournament just presents so many permutations and possibilities see young Kim went long on 17 to put this one the color of rough maybe impeding him slightly get this one to pop and run going with dri just try to keep this up the right side okay finds the Fairway for part 17 what tells the tale is spending some cash on this back nine he signaling that that’s gone a little left C path look out o gets a very for two itous kick off the side of that Hill oh nice oh yes nice indeed he’s gotten away with one there [Music] sang for his part doesn’t come back from outside there costly Bogies for Lee and Kim at the path 31 17th well tun o for an excellent finish to the championship this for Eagle at 18 oh he hasn’t hit it he hasn’t hit it tun you can’t do that not in front of the grand stands on the 72nd hole the two men with Aces this week tun Lee and taii nitani who H the PA 3 third today sitting in a share of fifth on that leaderboard shot better is Kashira who’s made his way to the 17th G although he hasn’t liked the look of this hole he’s bogied it on Friday and Saturday this could come around get a little help get a little better pretty good from Kido MAA Jangles tough pin to get close to in the front of the green the breeze at your back this speed you can really launch this one up in the air high at a front edge number send it into the sky cont sounded a little heavy could get lucky it’s got the highest point of that Ridge and funnel back down to about 20 ft he got hold out here on Thursday we might need that and then something special over the last two holes this Sunday pretty solid shot just unlucky with that hard first [Music] kick some to end his championship with the birdie on 18 it’s nicely done SEL be a round of one under pass [Music] 70 jeez so number one priority just get this one onto that middle step of this green [Music] he done that good shot take also make Birdie on the 18 that’s a really nice finish for t o three birdies in his last four third straight round in the 60s for Oak s High flooo required High flooo pulled off good touch [Music] You’ been J you think in right now birdie birdie CL 14 under that’s your target can’t control what oiso does behind you give him something to think about coming downhill left to right all from Kim’s part in the hoer head just the last sort of Two and a Half ft ball just doesn’t want to turn back it sort of just straightens out and Glides by the left Edge he’s had his child on this back side going to be something special up the last well capable of delivering playing for quite a bit of money here and that’s a very nicely hold spot for Kazuki heager don’t ride him off yet the perfect line read watching euben jangs but from down the line at that one holding its line oh kushiro MAA that’s four birdies on this back nine and he ties heer for third once more he can just give himself the cushion he needs can somehow roll this birdie Putt in at the 16th hole tekashi aiso has already made four birdies today this could be the most important one of the bunch just hide just a a little Pacey and a little high for tekashi Jito still keeps his nose out in [Music] front now dongan Lee up ahead on 18 is he giving this one a go in two could be worth a pretty penny if he could make at least a four very much within range at 220 lost a little right but a bad spot to be pitching from should of the green birdie here would get him into a share of fif that’s worth a huge chunk of change sanki to try to stop the bleeding no that’s low knew it wind’s just gone out of his sails a little s got up to the start if you wanted but pretty Rocky stuff to hit the back night two holes to play in oiso still needs the hanab bank Invitational going to become the first man from Japan to win this prestigious title on the kpga tour [Music] speech fore did see that one Eagle earlier on from hin wuu that’s where is the easiest hole at dun this Sunday you know what the assignment is for that man in the white shirt find the Fairway his t- shot very much game on Fairway clear and it will be Mya to go first he’s just going with three wood so PR much telegraphing his intentions so play this as a three shotter best finish of the season on the Japanese ters in the season opening event TI for 28 at the token homemade cup his three of his last four Cuts 62nd Place finish at the Kanai open amongst that twice this year he finished under par for four rounds hea off the birdie at 16 [Music] [Music] [Music] so take just t-shot the tournament for EU been Jang Trails by one safely the left hand side now to the leader on 17 anywhere but right of this screen is where Takashi oiso would happily see this ball come to rest that’s okay that’ll do [Music] four over this final round not having the Sunday we would have hoped for awkward stance in the greenside bunker up ahead send young Kim get creative here go out left try and use the camber of the slope to kick this ball right make a you turn down you come oh very clever shot by the veteran sangi as the wind starts to swirl on 17 back down at 8 under par nearly J that one on the second bounds excellent t-shot from Sang Lee too little too late Jang in the Fairway on 18 oiso on the green safely at 17 one of those two men is going to leave chinchon with Hana Bank Invitational title for for for for for Takahashi oiso could make new jang’s life rather uncomfortable if he can sneak this one in on 17 he gladly take two parts don’t get me wrong this one going be coming down the hill and bending from left to right from around 25 ft his Pace control and his putting has been excellent throughout the weekend just to call on it one more time here [Music] oh look out oh great part really good try from tekashi o [Music] jiso he will stand on the 72nd te the Hana Bank Invitational with the one shot lead chasing first ever Victory as a professional go up to the final Hall and sing Yong Kim and his productive week with a birdie four no he can’t best he’s ever ended the year on the Genesis points list was 19th back in 2015 kept his card last season very impressive for a 47 year old Tod do by finishing 50th on the money list and it’s going to be a nice week for sing young Kim who certainly will have his eyes on the seniors tour in a couple of years time keer me birdie here and no less than Eagle on the last to have any prayer of even Chon with the spoils already made a monster butt at 16 and he’s not going to make one on 17 good speed though very much looks like the title drought is going to go on six time winner in Japan don’t want Le big money putt this so we get him into a share of fifth no no no no nowhere near it after birding his first five holes on a single red number in his card after the couple of Drop shots still a very nice week for dong Wan Le he’ll end his campaign with a 70 and a share of eights go pitched it in the hall with the second bounce that t- shot for sang Le still there’s this for birdie it’s just been that kind of backb for sangi yuben Jang only needs a long iron to attack the 18th and two get that high towering fade into this front right pin oh that could come down oh you are kidding no yes oh that’s cruel that moves another dimple backwards towards the front edge that could be within 10 ft for Regal still fabulous shot nonetheless for the 21y old now s he for his par sou 3ood off the te laid up to this point third shot now for kushiro MAA who shares third with Kazuki Higa really crafty shot there from kushiro ma super stuff but certain of locking up an 11 underpar total this week takasu splashing out of the s for his third a fine shot look at where y been Jang has got to start this one just unlucky and that ball did not down that slope this is got more than 90° of break on it just takes a lot of feel and trust but this is for eil for Chen [Music] here we go get it high enough looks to be a two birdie 13 under the mark set in the clubhouse you been Jang [Music] couldn’t do much more than that youngster birdie tasu that kind of [Applause] 75u it’s been an expensive Trek chub back on the T heager with driver J you going [Music] he’s standing on the marker of kushiro MAA there making sure you don’t want to be trotting on your playing Partners coin this much money at stake so it looks like maa’s going to go first I just think that’s the right to do here it’s a gentlemanly act from both Jang and MAA a really really nice tournament for kushiro MAA his best finish of the Year by a long stretch 11 underpar total the man from to chigi preure so it’s 13 underpar going to be enough he has done everything he needed to do over the weekend yubin Jang rounds of 67 and 65 they turn 22 later this month he’s play some Stellar Golf and certainly will go into next week’s Korean open at ujong Hills as one of the hot favorites great playing from hubin Jang CL house Target is set at 13 under this man 13 under standing on the t- boox the easiest to in the golf course tekashi oiso the four for the win his driving has been absolutely imperious that is laced up the right hand side of the Fairway surely is going to have a cracken too from there s he Le if he could find a birdie here he grab fifth place all on his own certainly better than and sharing it with three other players [Music] [Music] excellent start from ybin Jang low round of the day 65 he can do no more it’s all in the hands of tekashi oiso Who’s striding down to the 18th Fairway tied for the lead with Jang know he’s coming out of the left rough here Kazuki heer has a pretty simple looking shot he’s got the best angle coming out of the rough this going to come out like a knuckle ball so he can afford to land this maybe even 10 yard short of the green have it jump on up much like tun Oaks ball did about an hour ago suppose we should say this is to tie the lead as improbable as it would be from 255 M out but hey crazier things have happened in this game of golf he’s already hold out once this week [Music] just tugs that into the left bunker and that’s Kazuki Higa mathematically out of this Championship going be heading towards his best finish of the year for s par there along with Jung ruam and suan some of the Hana Bank ambassadors who teed it up this week fortunately all three missing the weekend but sticking around for Championship Sunday Takashi oiso second shot into the last tied for the lead with yubin Jang there’s 221 left of this par five trying to hit that height heing fade oh that is left in an excellent spot just short of the green on the UPS slope so an up and down from there tekashi uiso will be our champion s visually quite an intimidating shot with the the valley and the scrub about 50 yards in front of him bunkers in the distance but for a professional especially with a modern hybrid coming out of this rough not too challenging start this at the left edge of the green it’s okay it’s down to B he will grab solo fifth this is place to get up and down from the short of the green a chance going long another a shot thinking clearly as tekashi oiso that skipped up that would have been fine if not no problems gotten up and down really nicely on this back now I think about the great saves on 14 and 15 that short abbreviated back swing and then just drive so hard with that lower body giving his club and his arms ample room to whip through the hitting area done enough statistically we say no we’ll take nothing away from the talent of this young man produce the round he did on Sunday to even give himself a chance really something special nice touch the 18th whole player walkup introductions done in both Korean and Japanese reflecting the wonderful Bond these two tours share Championship such as the hanab Bank Invitational and later on in the year the shinan dong Invitational which will be a a tri sanctioned event along with the Asian T played at sky72 just outside of Inon Airport can wait and [Music] wonder couple of up and downs here for quite a bit of cash four for hega leave him level with MAA at 11 under and share of third straightforward bunker shot [Music] this not bad just came out a little slow on him from that freshly red area of the greenside Trap he had to walk out give yourself an up and down to win the H Bank invitation it would probably be from the spot that tekashi oiso is just short of the green so pitches a little downhill with that first bounce and wants to feed touch from right to left s Lee is going to go [Music] first flip that one nicely he played it very nicely set for jiso off that slight up slope makes the shot a little bit easier get the hands forward CL face open just turn the body through the shot this is what you practice all those hours on the chipping green for and up and down win on the Sunday he’s done it fabulous touch from tekashi oiso he’ll stick a coin on it but the result of this Championship no longer in doubt you’ve been Jang he’s done everything he could have to keep this prestigious title on home soil but some great ball striking and some really Nifty wedge work from tagashi oiso we’ll see him finally seal the deal on a Sunday afternoon the Japan Players Championship will be the next stop for Kazuki heer will certainly take a lot of cont Confidence from his Stellar play this week yes it hasn’t panned out the way that he would have envisaged at the start of the final round played his way into this spot with a low round of Saturday birdie here he’ll share third his best finish in two years on the Japanese tour they play Kazuki here go so 69 on Sunday it’s going to come up just short wait for the seventh professional title will go on [Music] need have a solo fifth place finish this birdie but should be Insight right Edge oh salt in the wound s he will share fifth with taii nitani and Richard T Le at eight under par level past 71 for the second top 10 of the Year stage now clear for tekashi oiso to claim a first Victory as a professional the 27y old from aichi picked up golf at the age of six makes history becoming the first Japanese winner of the Hana Bank Invitational a final round of 68 for [Music] him a birdie on the 72 hole to close out euben Jang who produce an excellent round of 65 but it’s Japan who will claim the Hana Bank Invitational title in 2024 many congratulations to Kashi Ojo for the third time in 2024 he started Sunday with the championship lead he surrendered it at the crowds he imploded last week at the Mory building cup but he will smile the broadest as he leaves Chun this Father’s Day sugoi ois soan [Music] sooy talk about that excellent ball striking he displayed throughout the course of the weekend ultimately it was his short game clutch up and downs at 1415 and there at the 18th sees tekashi oiso lift the trophy and cash a check for 260 million Korean [Music] one this will be a springboard for his career and for the rest of his season is so much talent we’ve seen it in full display this week at the Han Bank Invitational co-san event between the PGA and jgto tours iconic trophy is going to be heading across the North Sea in the suitcase of one tekashi oiso our champion here in 2024 congratulations congratulations thank you thank you so tekashi aiso will put pen to his scorecard scribble his name next to it 68 and confirm the result of One-Shot victory over yuben Jang who came oh so close to a first ever win as a professional with a closing round of six 5 it’s all Japan in share of third MAA and Higa share third spot Lee nabani and sangi Lee will round out the top seven what the did [Music] okay for for for for for we C [Music] GRE for [Music] for for [Music] KP really must be such a special feeling for tekashi oiso to finally seal the deal having come so close so many times already in 2024 he got his day off to the start he would have wanted carrying a two- shot lead into the final round an excellent wedge into the first setting up a birdie and at the fourth euben Jang would start to make his move playing in the penultimate group pars on his first three holes and a beautifully controlled wedge in tight to set up his first birdie of the day then at six oiso would blink a poor t- shot on the par three a lengthy pass saving put that wouldn’t find the target he dropped into at that point a four-way tie for the lead with dongan Lee sangi Le and playing partner Kazuki heager on the seventh up ahead yubin Jang would continue to pile the pressure on Long par five had to lay up with his second nicely controlled wedge really good spin control and distance control set up a birdie for Jang aiso would respond nicely after his drop shot at the six with a fabulous wed shot of his own at the B five put him down for a birdie four and then at eight Jang would continue to keep the pressure on backto back birdies taking euben Jang within one aiso would drop a shot at eight but recovered it with this excellent birdie putt to end his front nine at one under Jang knew he needed plenty of birdies in the back nine and got that Quest off to a solid start with that four at the 10th trim the lead to the narrowest of margins and then he would grab a share of the lead with this ticklish downhiller at the 11th but in the final group oiso would respond in kind with a birdie of his own to move back to 13 under and then at the 14th big t- shot from yubin Jang a nicely controlled wedge set up this opportunity that never looked like missing his sixth birdie of the day Drew him level with the jiso once again and there were problems at 15 for yubin Jang puted it off the green led to a bogy great shot into 18 unlucky that that ball didn’t funnel down the slope had to get creative with his Eagle but playing it sideways judging it very nicely [Music] indeed the ensuing twoot birdie would leave euben Jang home and hoes in the clubhouse with a closing round of 65 and ask the question of Tashi oiso can you make Birdie on the last to win by one oiso responded like the champion he now is short of the green into a deaf pitch up to kick in range good job pretty much completed for the 27-year-old from aichi to claim a breakthrough title as a professional golfer he wins to Hana Bank Invitational with rounds of 67 69 66 and a championship winning [Music] 68 make sure he got all the equipment safely away before the showers of Celebration
