Tadd Fujikawa News Blog

Tadd Fujikawa has accepted a sponsors exemption to play in the Frys.com Open next week and Las Vegas, Nevada.

This will be Tadd’s first event since failing to qualify on the Nationwide Tour in Idaho. he did manage a late rally to finish under par, and also scored a hole in one in that tournament.

This event will be held at the TPC Summerlin and TPC Canyons courses in Vegas and is a charity tournament benefiting the Shriners Hospitals for Children.

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

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.
