My condition has improved much since yesterday. I was really bad on Tuesday and Wednesday. Yesterday too， I rested as much as I could and did not practice. Thanks to that I have improved and am taking medicine too. I had a drip only on Tuesday.
I don’t have a good image for this course， it always seems difficult to me. I don’t have a lot of confidence on this course， and therefore wonder how long this good form will continue. Despite making a good score， I am not really sure how this will continue.
Yesterday and today the only bogeys I made were on the 2nd hole. This is a difficult hole for me. This is a good result for me to only have had two bogeys so far. I only practiced this morning. Then I want to rest my body.
Every year I come here， I don’t know why I am not well， and every year I go to the same hospital. At the hospital they are always saying “He’s come again”. I had a cold from Monday， and the first thing I did on Tuesday when I arrived in Miyazaki was to go to the hospital.
Despite not having any expectations， I have made a good score so far. However， I won’t be too worried if I make a bad score tomorrow. I will just play each difficult hole one at a time tomorrow.
I have three more tournaments to play this year， and I will take a big break after the Japan Series. Tomorrow I will continue as I have done so far this week and try to improve my score one shot at a time.
I had several chances on the front nine but could not take them because of the strong wind. But I finished， birdie， nice par， birdie put me in good form to play a good round of golf tomorrow. The course is very similar to Swedish courses， and I also love the golf fans here. I am very satisfied to have played the first two rounds in 4-under par. This is a difficult course， but I will try to do my best over the two final rounds.
Ryo Ishikawa’s tee shots， iron shots， and putting are all excellent， particularly for a 17-year old. In particular his putting is very good. With all the media attention he is getting he can still concentrate very well. As he is young and aggressive， he has the potential to improve immensely as he gains more and more experience.
Today was similar to yesterday， and not so bad. Today’s putting was not as good as yesterdays， but I was surprised when I holed a 20 meter putt on the 7th hole today. I am happy to be in second place， and need to improve my putting for the final two rounds and want to play good golf too.
Today I did not have any difficult situations. I hit most of the fairways and most of the greens in regulation. Since I changed my driver last week， I am hitting the ball further and straighter. I lengthened the shaft by a half-inch to 42.25 inches， and have increased my distance from 275 yards to 290 yards. Now I can reach the par-5 holes in two shots.
Last year at the Mitsui Sumitomo VISA Taiheiyo Masters I used a driver with a shorter shaft and no matter what I did， I could not get extra distance. To fix that problem I changed the length of the shaft and have been successful with it.
This is the first time to play this tournament. I have always watched this tournament on TV every year. Many world players who hit the ball far play in this tournament and I always wanted to play with them. I finished 5th at last week’s tournament and that qualified me to play this week. If I play well in the third and fourth rounds I can also join the ranks of these players.
Having gone to the British Open， I understand that there are still many things for me to learn. Since I returned to Japan I increased the amount of practice I do. It was a great experience for me. I still think I need to learn many more things， such as improving my short game， getting more distance. In particular I am doing a lot of practice with my short game and have increased my putting practice time by one hour. Before， I never did a lot of practice.
I am not really concerned about the Rookie of the Year Award， If I have a chance to win it I would like to do so， but my objective right now is to play in the Japan Series. There are many players I would like to play with， but in particular Ernie Els， Henrik Stenson and Brandt Snedeker.
My game is good in general， but I have little experience playing in the final group. If I can play well there I will be happy.
I had 2 three putts today， otherwise it was a good round today. This weekend I will try to finish higher up the leader board. The wind is blowing in various directions and the greens are fast， so I am playing tentative golf. I need to adjust my strategy and as I have played this course last year too， I know what I need to do. I expect the pin positions will be more difficult tomorrow. Tomorrow I will try to get closer to the leader and create a chance to win the tournament.
I changed my image on how to play my tee shots. I thought about how I played the Japan Open， and used the same image again today. After the Japan Open I studied other player’s routines and today my swing was very different from yesterday.
With my practice swing， I checked my weight transfer twice， and then check the change from back swing to down swing twice.
Using the driver 12 times， I will probably miss about three or four times. But I did not think about that at all. I know that I will go in the trees sometime on this course and that all I can do is get the ball back in play. That is what happened on the 15th hole today， but after chipping back onto the fairway I hit a great sand wedge from 100 yards， and holed a 2.5 meter putt to make a great par there.
My swing improved with the final ten balls I hit at practice yesterday， but it still is not prefect yet. I changed back to a good swing that has worked for me before. I still need to improve my weight transfer， and also the change over at the top of the back swing to the down swing.
The 7th hole here is about the same width as the 10th hole at Koga Golf Club. So you really have to be accurate off the tee. I did not think that you could have such a narrow fairway at the Japan Open.
I have a good feeling this week. However， now I am not thinking about winning the tournament. You don’t really know that until the last three holes of the tournament.
At the Japan Open I hit each driver at a time， and played aggressively all the time. I played all 72 holes using the driver， and can still remember every hole because I had to concentrate so hard that week.
Today I hit many good tee shots. Tomorrow my first shot will determine the type of play I will have. If my first shot is good tomorrow， even if my tee shot on the second hole is bad， my tee shot on the third hole will be good. I will take each shot at a time.
My knee has been swelling up since the final round of the Bridgestone Open. I intend to go to the doctor after this week. Walking and swinging the club is no problem， but it hurts when I bend over to line up a putt. I think I have been taking care of my body so I am not really too sure why I have this problem. Maybe it is because I have been doing too much training.
This is my last tournament of the year， so I will have time to take care of my body afterwards.
I am off to a good start to tournament. If I had made putts on the 17th and 18th greens I would be in an even better position.
The greens are being rolled to make them fast. I think they are as fast as Augusta.
On the 18th green I did not feel too comfortable and should have stepped away and set up to the ball again.
Overall my condition is good. Last week I played in Singapore where it was very hot. This week is very cold. I am taking pain killers to relieve the pain. But I can still walk and play golf so I don’t want this to be an excuse.
I am having fun and excited. The weekend will be warmer and I think I that the winning score will be 10-under. Tomorrow is moving day and the pin positions will be difficult. But I will set a high target for myself. If I had holed one or two more putts I would be in an even better position for the weekend.
Yesterday I had 3 two-meter putts that I hit two-meters past the hole. Today I was more careful not to leave myself so far past the hole with my putts.
I suddenly started to hole putts on the second nine holes today. My putting was great today. Yesterday my shots were not so good， but today they were much improved.
I did not play last week and was able to refresh myself. I was really tired so it was a good break for me. Now my body is very relaxed. It was a good decision to rest last week so now I can try hard this week.
I don’t think I have a chance to win this week. I did not hit one shot last week. If I finish in the top twenty this week I will be happy.
I played better than yesterday， and I only missed the fairway three times today and am happy to have finished at 1-under for the round today.
I have not fully corrected the problem of hitting the ball to the right， but today only one shot went to the right. I am still not fully confident but am feeling more comfortable now. If I had holed more putts today， I would have had a better score. I have high expectations for tomorrow.
Phoenix Country Club is not a course where you can easily make a big score， but I do believe if everything goes right I could shoot 5-under， or 6-under or 7-under. I am still only three shots off the lead and if I play well tomorrow， I think the final round will be a lot of fun.
My form has been good since last week. I am still holing putts. My game is generally good， but normally there are areas of my game that I am always worried about， but most of those worries seem to have disappeared for the moment.
Last week I did not have a good final day， so this week I want to improve and hopefully have a chance to win the tournament. I will do my best so please support me.
Today’s conditions were tough. The wind was strong and the greens were fast. I made a lucky par on the 17th hole. Tomorrow I will change my frame of mind.

近藤 智弘 １Ｒ：６８（－３） ２Ｒ：６９（－２）＝１３７（－５） 首位
ここはあまり良いイメージがなくて・・難しいというイメージがあって。ここへ来ると自信を失くすコースです。なのに、随分いいスコアですね。いつまで続くのかなぁ。
いいスコアで回っていても気持ち的にはどうしても前に向いていけない。
２番だけですからね。ボギーは。昨日と今日と。ここは特に打ちにくいホールです。２ボギーで収まっていることでいい結果になっているのでしょうね。
朝だけは練習してます。あとはとにかく体を休めるようにしてます。
毎年、ここへ来るとなぜか駄目なんですよ。それで毎年、同じ病院へ行く。「あら、また来たのね」という感じ。
風邪というかなんなんでしょう。月曜日も調子は良くはなかったのですが、火曜日に宮崎にきて、まず最初に病院ですからね。（笑）
開き直ってというか・・・自分にそれほどの期待もないですが、いいスコア。明日以降も・・、まぁ、悪いスコアでも受け止められる感じですから。テンションもあがらず、難しいホールを１つ１つこなしていければとう感じでしょうか。
あと３試合ですし、日本シリーズが終われば休めますし。良いスコアではありますから、明日以降も１日１個でも伸ばしていけたら良いという気持ちで。変わらずやっていきます。

（一緒にラウンドした石川選手の印象は？）
ドライバー、アイアン、パッティング全て上手くて、17歳と年齢は若いが本当に才能溢れる選手だと思う。特にパッティングが上手い。あのメディアと観衆の注目の中で、集中力を切らさず、少しも動じず堂々としているのはさすが。若さゆえのアグレッシブさと粗さがあるが、これから経験を積む中でますます磨きがかかっていくと思う。

松村 道央 １Ｒ：７０（－１） ２Ｒ：６８（－３）＝１３８（－４） 2位タイ
先週からドライバーをかえたことで飛距離も方向性も良くなって楽になりました。
シャフトを０．５インチ伸ばして４２．２５インチに。２７５ヤードくらいだったのが２９０ヤードくらいになった。ロングも届くようになりました。
去年の三井住友ＶＩＳＡで練習ラウンドをしたときに従来のシャフトの長さだとどうしても飛距離がでないので、飛ばそう飛ばそうとしちゃった。それをなおすために先週から使い始めました。それが見事にはまって。
初出場です。この試合は毎年テレビで見ている大会ですね。世界の飛ぶ選手もくる試合なので、どうしても出たいと思っていた。先週５位以内に入った資格で出場できたので。今週はもう３日目、４日目で上にいけばたぶん、そういう選手たちと一緒になれるかなと。
全英へいったことで考え方、打ち方、世界の一流を見て、まだまだ相当足りないものがあることに気づいた。それで帰国して以降、練習量も増えましたし、いい経験をしたと思う。
足りないものはすべてにおいて。飛距離、ショートゲームにしても。特にショートゲームを練習してます。パターで練習時間が１時間くらいは増えました。もともと練習はしない方だったんですけど。
これまではカップに向かって打つ練習くらい。最近ではティペグなど器具を使った練習をしています。
新人王はあまり意識しなくなりました。もちろんチャンスがあれば狙っていきたいですが、今は日本シリーズに出たいです。
回ってみたい選手は全選手そうなんですが、特にといえばアーニー・エルス、ヘンリク・ステンソン、スネデカー・・・でしょうか。
ショット、パットがいいけれど最終組の経験が少ないので、そこで崩れなければいいんですが。

かなりイメージを変えました。日本オープンを思い出して、同じ素振りをして、ルーティンを同じにしました。日本オープンのあと他の選手のルーティンを取り入れたりしていた。
スイングは昨日と雲泥の差でした。
（どんなルーティンに？）
体重移動を意識した素振りを２回、トップからの切り返しを意識した素振りを２回、計４回します。
（ＮＯ．１５）
ドライバーを１２回使えば、３、４回はミスをする、あれくらいは気にしないです。今日はあれくらいですんだから良かった。インパクトで右肩が詰まる感じになって…。
このコースなら林に入るだろうと思っている。林に入ったときに、出すだけという選択を余儀なくされて…最高のパーがとれた。パーとボギー、あの１打の差はそれ以上あった。
（昨日の練習）
最後の10球くらいでよくなってきて、完璧に良くなっていないのに、次の段階に踏み入れてしまった。もう1回良かったときのスイングに戻すことにした。
（次の段階とは？）
体重移動、トップからの切り返しを…まだトップまでの課題しか出来ていない。
7番ホールのフェアウェイは古賀ＧＣの10番のフェアウェイの幅くらいしかない。ドライバーでも1ヤード刻みで狙っていく気持ち、実際は出来ないですけど。ピンポイントでターゲットを絞っていく…日本オープンではドライバーでこんな狭いフェアウェイにいくわけないと思った。
手ごたえ、少しあります。今まで手ごたえというのは感じないだろうと思っていたのが、少し感じますね。
（マイナビＡＢＣのときと比べて？）
優勝ばかりは分からないですね。最後の3ホールになって意識する。今はトップの近藤さんでも優勝はまだ意識しないと思う。70ホール目でいい緊張を味わいたい。
（日本オープンの古賀ＧＣ）
1ショット1ショット、ドライバーで打って、どのホールに行っても気が抜けない。そのコースで72ホールできた。ほとんどドライバーで打てたし、1打1打を思い出せるくらい集中していたし、落ち着いていた。
今日は朝からいいティショットが打てた。朝の１打目がその日をだめにしてしまう。僕の場合は。でも1打目がいいと、2ホール目がダメでも３ホール目はいい。1ホールの1打目はすごい大事ですね。
I changed my image on how to play my tee shots. I thought about how I played the Japan Open， and used the same image again today. After the Japan Open I studied other player’s routines and today my swing was very different from yesterday.

丸山 茂樹 １Ｒ：７１（EVEN） ２Ｒ：６８（－３）＝１３９（－３） ６位タイ
ＢＳオープンの最終日に右ひざの裏にきて、レクサスの週から右膝前が腫れている。水・・・なのかなんなのか。とにかく、終わったら病院へ行こうと思ってます。スイングや歩行は大丈夫ですがラインを読むときが辛い。
左足はガングリオンを2回抜いて、右は初めて。東海クラシックのときは左足ふくらはぎの肉離れ・・・。もう踏んだり蹴ったりはがれたり・・下半身の怪我にやられてますね。
自分の中ではトゥ・マッチなのかなぁ・・。トレーニングにしても・・まぁほとんど練習はしてないんですけどね。今は体幹の筋肉のトレーニングをして。この試合が最後なので、いろいろと体のメンテナンスに努めて、整えておこうと思ってます。
（今日は）いい出だしでグッドスタートをきって。途中、8番とか9番とかもったいないミスもあったり。ボギーを打った中でも、13番、すぐにボギーにしたけど15番でとれたり・・１７、１８のどちらかも入れて、いいところで終わりたかったという気もしますけど。
あとはもう、乗る位置とかピンポジションとか難しく傾斜気味のところとかだと、ここは芝が薄くてカットしてあるとかではなく、芝が厚くてローラーをかけて早くしているので、よほどきれいにラインに乗せないとちょっとよれる。ラインに中々乗せにくい。それでタッチをあわせないとならないとなると・・オーガスタにちょっとにているような感じです。アメリカっぽく蛇行しながらラインに乗せないといけない感じですね。
ゴルフの一番の課題であったティボックスについては８０％回復してきてますので。飛距離の問題はともかく狙ったホールのエリアの中にきちんとティショットを収めて。そこからマネジメントしていくということが一番大事なので。その辺は自分で思うように大分なってきている。非常にいい状態だと思います。
先週がシンガポールで暑いところから今週は寒いところへきたことも余計痛みがひどくなった感じはしますが、
シンガポールでもちょっと痛かったけれど、今週みたいにトレジャーがいるわけでもなかったので、自分でアイシングはしていた。まぁ、朝晩とケアに行っていますがゴルフは出来るんでね。言い訳にはしたくないですね。
昨年はもう笑う余裕も何もなかったけれど。（笑）。今日はギャラリーともたわむれて楽しめたし。非常に良い状態だとおもいます。もちろん、優勝も狙わなければならないのですが今は楽しんでやりたいですね。
そいういう意味では優勝争いの中にいられて、エキサイティングしているので残り二日間、なんとか自分の目標スコアを出したいなと。
（目標スコア？）
最初は8アンダーなら優勝できるかな思っていた。でも週末は暖かくなるときいたので、あと二つ見積もって１０アンダーかと。明日のピンポジションがどうなるかですけれどもムービングディがどう動くか。僕の中では最近の予想屋としては当たっているので１０なら鉄板かなと。あと7個、厳しいかもしれませんが、目標は高いところにおいて自分のノルマを達成したいですね。
初日がちょっとねぇ。いいところについていたのもあったのに。あと2つくらい入っていてくれたら。
（ラインはつかめてきた？）
全体的にイメージはカップの中心の自分が入るイメージのところからラインを引っ張って。後方からも両方からも見る。それを今日はスライスだとカップの左半分を使ってそこから縦にいれてくるイメージでラインを大きくとる・・。そうしたら少し良くなった。まず距離感を合わせて３６０度から入れる入り口を大きくとれるように・・そういう気持ちでやったら非常に良い感じでいけた。明日もそうした感じでやろうかと。
（息子さんが来てますが・・・）
ＢＳ前の週から会っていなかったので会いたい気持ちはすごくありましたね。彼はゴルフを好きだし、もともとＰＧＡの選手の名前は全部知っているほどで、今はＪＧＴＯの選手の名前も覚えて・・・、今日、トレジャーに入ってきた選手の名前もフルネームで言えるようになってきて。そのくらい本人大好きなので、父親が頑張っている姿を見せるのも本人にいい影響を与えるものと思うので。そういうのを見て、自分の夢もしっかりと持ってもらえたらなと思いますし。
昨日、ロスから帰ってきて今朝、宮崎に来ました。
ベストスコアはレディスティから８３。で、ジュニアの試合も3回優勝している。クォリファイでもトップにたったり・・。今、なんとかっていうポイントでトップ。ＣＫＧツアーか。まあ週2回しか練習をさせてもらってない割には結構、いいものをもっているのかなと。（笑）
まぁ、こんだけたくさんしゃべっても明日はまた遼くんの記事でいっぱいだからね。（大笑）
とにかく、あと二日間、頑張ります。
Shigeki Maruyama T6 71-68=139(-3)
My knee has been swelling up since the final round of the Bridgestone Open. I intend to go to the doctor after this week. Walking and swinging the club is no problem， but it hurts when I bend over to line up a putt. I think I have been taking care of my body so I am not really too sure why I have this problem. Maybe it is because I have been doing too much training.
This is my last tournament of the year， so I will have time to take care of my body afterwards.
I am off to a good start to tournament. If I had made putts on the 17th and 18th greens I would be in an even better position.
The greens are being rolled to make them fast. I think they are as fast as Augusta.
On the 18th green I did not feel too comfortable and should have stepped away and set up to the ball again.
Overall my condition is good. Last week I played in Singapore where it was very hot. This week is very cold. I am taking pain killers to relieve the pain. But I can still walk and play golf so I don’t want this to be an excuse.
I am having fun and excited. The weekend will be warmer and I think I that the winning score will be 10-under. Tomorrow is moving day and the pin positions will be difficult. But I will set a high target for myself. If I had holed one or two more putts I would be in an even better position for the weekend.
Yesterday I had 3 two-meter putts that I hit two-meters past the hole. Today I was more careful not to leave myself so far past the hole with my putts.
手嶋 多一 １R：７３（＋２） ２R：６６（－５）＝１３９（－３） ６位タイ
後半に入って、突然パターが入り始めました！
今日はパターが良かったね。ショットも昨日悪かったけど、今日はまぁ良い感じだった。
（先週休んだのが良かった）
そうだね。疲労回復しました。ずっと疲れていたので、いい休養になりました。
体が楽になりました。
先週の休みが良い選択になるように頑張ります。
（優勝も狙える位置まで一気にきましたけど）
ないないない。
先週は一度もゴルフをしていない
今週は予選突破して、２０位くらいでいいと思っていたんだけど。
Taichi Teshima T6 73-66=139(-3)
I suddenly started to hole putts on the second nine holes today. My putting was great today. Yesterday my shots were not so good， but today they were much improved.
I did not play last week and was able to refresh myself. I was really tired so it was a good break for me. Now my body is very relaxed. It was a good decision to rest last week so now I can try hard this week.
I don’t think I have a chance to win this week. I did not hit one shot last week. If I finish in the top twenty this week I will be happy.
矢野 東 １R：７０（－１） ２R：７０（－１）＝１４０（－２） １４位タイ
そうですね。今日は昨日より数倍いい内容で、フェアウェイを外したのは３回で、理想とはほど遠いんですけど、かなり期待が持てる１アンダーだったと思います
（理由が分からなくて右にいくと話していたティーショットも修正出来た？）
完璧に修正は出来ていないですけど。
今日、右にいったのは１発ですかね。
だいぶ・・・自信はないですけど、良い感じになってきているんで。
今日はパッティングがもうちょっと入っていれば、もっともっとスコアを伸ばせていました。
かなり明日以降期待出来ますね。
（３打差で決勝ラウンド）
フェニックスは、なかなかスコア出るコースじゃないんで。
ただ、かみ合えば１日５、６、７アンダーくらい、自分でも出せると思っているので
まだ３打差ですし、明日また粘って、最終日に調子が良い感じになってくれば、おおいに楽しいんじゃないですかね。
（終盤戦楽しくしてください）
はい！します！！
Azuma Yano T14 70-70=140(-2)
I played better than yesterday， and I only missed the fairway three times today and am happy to have finished at 1-under for the round today.
I have not fully corrected the problem of hitting the ball to the right， but today only one shot went to the right. I am still not fully confident but am feeling more comfortable now. If I had holed more putts today， I would have had a better score. I have high expectations for tomorrow.
Phoenix Country Club is not a course where you can easily make a big score， but I do believe if everything goes right I could shoot 5-under， or 6-under or 7-under. I am still only three shots off the lead and if I play well tomorrow， I think the final round will be a lot of fun.
富田 雅哉 １R：７１（EVEN） ２R：６９（－２）＝１４０（－２） １４位タイ
そうですね。パターが入ってくれているというだけなんですけど。
ショットもそうなんですが、全体的に不安材料がいっぱいあるんですけど、だいぶ、その不安材料が無くなってきたという感じで、良い感じになってきたというところです。はい。
（先週は最終日に悔しい結果でしたが）
今週こそは、もっと上位にいけるように、優勝争い出来るように頑張ります。
狙える範囲で狙って行きたい
宜しくお願いします。
Masaya Tomita T14 71-69=140(-2)
My form has been good since last week. I am still holing putts. My game is generally good， but normally there are areas of my game that I am always worried about， but most of those worries seem to have disappeared for the moment.
Last week I did not have a good final day， so this week I want to improve and hopefully have a chance to win the tournament. I will do my best so please support me.

Ernie Els T38 72-73=145(+3)
Today’s conditions were tough. The wind was strong and the greens were fast. I made a lucky par on the 17th hole. Tomorrow I will change my frame of mind.
Ｉ・ポールター １R：７３（＋２） ２R：７３（＋２）＝１４６（＋４） ４４位タイ
Ian Poulter T44 73-73=146(+4)
Despite hitting many greens in regulation my putting is very bad. Tomorrow I have to shoot at least 7-under par.
