The second Aki Cup race came to a conclusion at
Kodama GC yesterday
and frontrunner Savuth Kong easily won the 2014 Aki Cup with 2,113 total points.
Savuth shot a 72 (gross 85) to take second
place on the day and pick up 710 points.
Second place in the season went to Chris
Hurquin who won the event yesterday. Chris shot a 68 (gross 91) to take 1,030
on the day and a total 1,635 points in the race.
As a reminder, the points for the Aki Cup finale are double the regular event points. Third place in the race went to 2014 Haru Cup
winner Stan Filin with 1,450 total points.
There were a variety of golf courses in this year's Aki Cup race and Savuth played consistently throughout with one
win and three second place finishes.
After the win, Savuth said he was fortunate to have played well and was now
ready for the off season and the ski season.
And judging from yesterday's weather, ski season seems to be quite near as it was chilly when the sun went into hiding and
the day even saw a few snow flurries before lunch.
Third place in yesterday's event, with a sore of 75, went to
Toshimichi Kida (gross 95) and Aya Morohoshi
(gross 102). Toshimichi finished
fourth in the race with 1,295 points.
And in the Stableford side
bet, Chris took the first prize with a Stableford score of 40. Savuth Kong took second with 36 points.
Thank you
Special thanks to Chris Hurquin and Aya Morohoshi for
helping organize this event. Chris also helped organize most of the event in this 2014
Aki Cup. Thanks also to Yasu Iwatani, Greg Mettam and
Steve Novosel for helping in other events over the 2014 Aki Cup season.
And, of course, thanks to everyone who took part. In the 2014 Aki Cup nearly every event was full and 36 different players took part in at least one event.
Winter is nearly here and it's now time to take a golf
break. Look for more when we return in the 2015 Haru
Cup. See you then!

Thank you Jack for all your work in organising, and to the many helpers along the way. Great format and interesting array of courses. So glad in that cold weather that I didn't have to go stripping down on the 5th, for a third time! Peter
