Vantelin Tokai Classic 2021

Thanks to his good luck outfit Ryo Hisatsune finishes as 9T on his first Regular Tour appearances

19 years old Ryo Hisatsune, who was promoted up to the Regular Tour this week, as the result of his 3 victories on the cub-tour, AbemaTV Tour, successfully finishes as 9T on his first Regular Tour challenge.

Ryo played with 3 birdies and 3 bogeys on Sunday, managed to stay Even for the day, and finished as 9T.
He showed great charisma as he made the 6-meter chance on the finishing hole to jump into the Top 10.

Ryo won the last week's AbemaTV Tour tournament and as it was his 3rd victory, he earned the right to be promoted up to the Regular Tour. He is the first player to receive this 3 victories promotion, since it was placed in 2007.

"This good result on my first try absolutely gives me confidence, but I regret the miss I made on 9th, as my 1-meter par putt became a lip out. From that moment, I couldn't shift my mind and made 2 more bogeys on my back nine. I felt that I lack flexibility and experience."

He will move on to Bridgestone Open next week. Top 3 players of this tournament will receive the invitation to US PGA and JGTO co-sanctioned ZOZO Championship.
"If there is at least 1% of possibility for me, I will definitely go for it."

His Sunday outfit was navy trousers and emerald green shirt. This is the outfit he has been putting on Final Round Sunday since his 1st victory on AbemaTV Tour.
"It's for good luck. This outfit gave me good result this week too, so I will have it on from now on too."
