In an interview Tadd sounded excited to play and mentioned that he’d been working on his game and is ready to go.

Late Rally From Tadd A Bit Too Late

Friday, September 21st, 2007

After Tadd Fujikawa shot a hole in one yesterday to go with his 1 under par 70, he was ready to make a run at the cut on the Nationwide Tour. It would be his first cut made since he turned professional.

The day just didn’t turn out as he had hoped. He didn’t play horrible, just not up to par with the others on the day. He started out with a string of pars and then stumbled with a bogey and 8. After this he made up for it with an immediate birdie on the next hole.

He was making the turn even for the day and in need of what looked like 2 birdies to make the projected cut of 3 under par at the time. He then bogeyed 12 and 14 slipping him to 2 over on the day and 1 over through the two days. All this as the projected cut moved from 3 under to 4 under.

However, Fujikawa made a late rally, really showing some good potential to not give up even when the day isn’t going quite as planned. He made birdie on the final two holes of the day finishing back up at even par for the round and 1 under for the tournament. Out of weekend play but with some positive golf shots and holes to look at.
