Shiv Kapur tied 18th

Miyazaki (Japan): Shiv Kapur continued his fine performance to card an even par 70 and was placed tied 18th in the star-studded $200 million Yen Dunlop Phoenix golf tournament.

Kapur, playing in Japan only for the second time, brought home a steady round for a total of even par 140 for 36 holes.

World No. 1 Tiger Woods, whose winning streak in strokeplay events was snapped last week by Korean Yang Yong-Eun, once again found himself in the familiar pole position with a five-under 65 that saw him total eight-under 132.

Woods's effort

Woods's effort was one shot ahead of European Tour No. 1 Padraig Harrington, who shot a four-under 66. Ian Poulter (66) and Shingo Katayama (70) followed him in the next two places.

Overnight leader and the 2000 champion Katayama, who is Japan's highest-ranked player, dropped to fourth with two late bogeys on the 15th and 17th and with an even par 70 he had a total of five-under 135 — PTI
