Taniguchi, whose most recent victory came at The Golf Tournament in Omaezaki last July, leads South Korea's Kim Jong Duck by one stroke. Kim made three birdies and as many bogeys en-route to his second straight 71. Thailand's Parayad Marksaeng, Hiroyuki Fujita and Kiyoshi Maita all shot 71s and share third place on 143. Katsunori Kuwabara surrendered his overnight lead and dropped into a share of 15th with seventeen-year-old amateur Shunsuke Sonoda and six others on 147 after a disastrous 6-over 77. Sonoda's Suginami Gakuin high school teammate Ryo Ishikawa, who at 15 became the youngest winner on the men's professional tour at last week's Munsingwear Open KSB Cup, is not taking part in this event. |
