Taisei Nagasaki Leads Asia Pacific Amateur Championship With A Round To Play

Taisei Nagasaki of Japan.

Japan’s Taisei Nagasaki leads the Asia Pacific Amateur Championship (AAC) at Emirates Golf Club in Dubai after the third round. He is now just one good round away from earning spots in both next year’s Open Championship and Masters Tournament – prizes that go to the champion.

Nagasaki made the first big move on Saturday. He raced to the turn in four-under-par 31 before stalling somewhat at the start of the back nine, dropping a shot at the 12^th. He bounced back with a birdie at the par five 13^th.
