Chiba prefecture, Japan, May 11: Read what leading contenders have to say after the third round of the Asia-Pacific Diamond Cup.
Yosuke Asaji (Jpn) Third round 68 (-3), Total 209 (-4)
Anything can happen on this golf course. So even if I’m leading by one shot, anything can still happen. You got to be really patient here and be really sharp with your driving. If not, it will cost you. They are many good players here this week and you have to be on top of your game. It’s great to see the crowd coming out to watch the event and I’m looking forward to the final day tomorrow.
Micah Lauren Shin (Usa) Third round 72 (+1), Total 210 (-3)
The course is obviously very tough and I’m just trying to hang in there for as long as I can. I’m just trying to play the best I can. I’m just one shot back. But I don’t want to think too much about it and just play well. I was hitting it very badly today and just didn’t get into the right spots. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better.
Denzel Ieremia (Nzl) Third round 66 (-5), Total 210 (-3)
It was a solid. I hit the driver pretty good and long which gave me a lot of birdie chances the last few days. Mentally, it has been cool and I’m just enjoying the week. This is the hardest course I’ve played as it’s very demanding off the tee and if you miss the fairways, it going to be very hard to get it onto the greens. It requires all aspects of your game to be good. I was very lucky to get an invitation from APGC (Asia Pacific Golf Confederation). This is my first time in Japan and I’m just enjoying the week.
Scott Vincent (Zim) Third round 68 (-3), Total 212 (-1)
I putted really well and gave myself a lot of good chances and managed to make quite a few putts out there today. I didn’t hit it particularly well but just managed it really well, put myself in places where I could make a play. So I’m very happy with how the day went. This is probably one of the hardest courses I have ever played so you have to bring your A-game. I just got to play solid and steady tomorrow. If I can do a lot of the things I did today I’ll have a good chance, so tomorrow is going to be a good battle out there and hopefully I can play some good golf.
