Three way tie at Bridgestone Open

BY Bruce Young | Japan Tour | 2012 Bridgestone Open | Round Two | 19 Oct 2012

Three players are tied in the lead at the halfway stage Bridgestone Open at the Sodegaura Country Club in Chiba in Japan.

The Japan Tour’s number one player in 2012, Hiroyuki Fujita, Sushi Ishigaki and Yusaku Miyazato are tied at 6 under and hold a one shot lead over defending champion, Toru Taniguchi, Kyoung-Hoon Lee and Kazuhiro Yamashita.

Fujita is chasing his 4th win of the season and given that he has often played this event well in the past he looks the player to beat over the weekend.

David Smail is the best of the Australasians just four shots from the lead and in 13th position, Brad Kennedy the only other to make the cut in 22nd position at 1 under and five from the lead.
