- Yuta Ikeda qualified for next month’s British Open by winning the Japan Tour’s Mizuno Open on Sunday, a tournament where the monster length of the course raised eyebrows.
The Royal Country Club in Ibaraki Prefecture north of Tokyo played to a distance of 8016 yards in the third round, which is believed to be a record length for a sea level course on any recognized tour. Course lengths change slightly each round as officials move the hole locations and tees from day to day.
The course played shorter for the final round, as Ikeda added a 71 to finish at seven-under-par 281 for his 21st Japan Tour victory.
