FUJITA WITH A PUTT TO WIN…
From 15ft up the hill with some right-to-left in it…
He leaves it short! We’re heading back to the 18th tee as both men bogey.
BLAND FIRST HERE TO SAVE PAR
Bland has a 20-footer here up the hill and it’s a great effort but just slides by the left side.
Fujita will now have a putt to win.
FUJITA’S BUNKER SHOT
Comes up a good 15ft short. Looked like he chunked it a little.
Missed opportunity there you’d have to say.
BLAND’S WEDGE SHOT
It’s uphill, fairly blind and over a bunker. But he has got a nice lie.
He hits a high one that lands on the edge of the green and runs a good 20ft past.
Fujita up next…
BRAD FAXON SAYS ADVANTAGE FUJITA
He’s probably right, with Fujita facing a 20 yard bunker shot into wind vs Bland’s 40-yard pitch over a bunker and downwind. Neither are easy up-and-downs, though.
CAN BLAND TAKE ADVANTAGE?
From 226 and also with a fairway wood, Bland pushes it well up the right.
It misses the green by a good 25 yards right and he’s going to have a wedge shot over a bunker. A tricky one awaits but he does have plenty of green to work with.
Anyone’s game now!
FUJITA’S SECOND INTO 18 BUNKERED
5-wood in hand again for the Japanese player, who is a good 10 or 15 yards behind Bland.
From 238 yards, he pulls it into the bunker left. Advantage Bland, for now at least
BLAND GOING FOR SECOND STRAIGHT SENIOR MAJOR
The Englishman won the Senior PGA Championship towards the end of May in his over-50s debut. This is only his second senior Major!
FUJITA’S WHISKEY
Did you know? The 18-time Japan Golf Tour winner released a single malt whiskey in January, limited edition with only 3,000 bottles.
He’ll be toasting one of those if he gets the win here in what is his fifth senior Major start.
FUJITA’S DRIVE ON 18
Fujita’s drive finishes in almost exactly the same position as before, up the right on the upslope next to the bunker. He knows this shot well, a towering 5-wood is awaiting.
BACK TO THE 18TH
Richard Bland again has the honor here.
His drive finds the left side of the fairway.
SUDDEN-DEATH
Fujita taps in and we’re heading back to the 18th.
Two great pars there on the 473-yard uphiller.
Bland will feel disappointed…
