Yuwa Kosaihira owes his bogey free 68 round to the legend Isao Aoki's advice

Yuwa Kosaihira, a 5th year professional made a bogey free good start with 68 with a great help fro the legend's advice.

He was safely able to make his 2-meter par putt on the final 18th, as he was stared by the legend, Isao Aoki.
The legend welcomed Yuwa with a praise, saying "well done" with a smile.

Yuwa was offered a precious advice from Isao Aoki at the practice green on Tuesday's practice day.
"Yuwa, you have too much pressure on your right hand, you must lead your putting with your left hand."

"I owe all of my success on the 3 to 4-meter putts to Mr. Aoki."

Yuwa also had the privilege of playing along with lifetime membership owner Shingo Katayama, who is also the winner of this Major in 2007 and 27 other victories.
"I watched Shingo play the course with great management and I tried to play as he did. Avoid the worse places and even if I made mistake hit it to the safe sides. I also approached from front of the green and was able to make no bogeys."

Yuwa came back to Japan from his challenge on the US PGA Korn Ferry Tour. He did place himself into a contention at Mizuno Open, and also finished within Top 10 for 3 times already, but still, he is away from his first victory.
"I am constantly aiming for the victory. It is same this week. I will do my best as always."

Golden advice from the legends might work magic on Yuwa this week.
