Snowman, triple ‘highlight’ tough day for Ishikawa in Japan
Posted by: admin : Category: Golf news
Ryo Ishikawa had the worst round of his professional career on Thursday with a 12-over 83 at the Japan Golf Tour Championship.
The 19-year-old Ishikawa had six bogeys, an 8 on the par-4 14th hole and a triple bogey on the par-4 17th. His only birdie of the day came on the par-5 6th hole.
He finished the day tied for the third-worst score with three other golfers.
Masanori Kobayashi, who defeated Ishikawa in a playoff at the Totoumi Hamamatsu Open two weeks ago, took the lead with a 2-under 69.
Ishikawa has an exemption for the June 13-19 U.S. Open.
