Yuta Uketake, 5th year professional is on the roll towards his first Tour victory. On the "moving Saturday" Yuta made big moves from the start by making a chip-in eagle on Par 5 2nd. His tee shot was in the roughs, but after laying it up to the fairway, his 3 rd shot from 72 yards went straight to the pin.
"I was watching my shot and was pleased to see it was going right to the pin."
Ball bounced 3 to 40 yards front of the pin and then it fell in.

From this miraculous shot, Yuta became unstoppable. He made 10-meter on 5th, made easy 1- meter on 8th, uphill 13-meter on 9th, and also made down slope 2-meter on 10th for 3 consecutive birdies.

He added 2 more on 12th and 13th, and at that moment he noticed he had 5 shot margin against the 2nd place player.
"Somehow I was able to see the leader board with calmness. I was able to put the score aside and concentrate on each and every shots. I am having good feeling on my putting, and it saved me from troubles too."

Yuta has 5 shots lead against the crowd going onto Sunday.
"It is my first time to be in the final group on Sunday, so I don't know how I will react."

His buddy, Kazuki Higa has already won twice on the Tour.
"We don't usually talk about golf when we eat, but maybe I should ask for his advice today."
