HEIWA PGM CHAMPIONSHIP 2019

"Mr. Heiwa" the Host-pro Yuta Ikeda shows his frustration for not living up to his expectations

"It's been really frustrating rounds for the past 2 days" said "Mr. Heiwa" the Host-pro of this Tournament, Yuta Ikeda. Heiwa has become Yuta's sponsor since 2017, the year that this tournament has come to Okinawa.

"I must be in contention. I must make more birdies and be up on the leaderboard, but for these 2 days, I haven't been able to do so."

Yuta has 6 shot deficit against the leader Ho-Sung Choi going onto the Final Round tomorrow.
He made his 3rd double bogey on 8th hole. He did show great par saving putts under the tough windy conditions, but "just being able to avoid the worst is not enough to get my hands on the winning trophy. No matter how hard I try in any kinds of circumstances, if the score doesn't get better, it is not called a good golf. My shots and putt are not bad. If I could get myself into birdie charge, then there is a chance. I will just have to do that from 1st tee tomorrow. I will go aggressive and try to go under par as I could tomorrow."

Yuta promised to his sponsor and fans that he is the man of his words.
