ISPS Handa Championship: Lucas Herbert triumphs, and a Scottish trio gets involved

Posted : 24 April 2023
Japan's ISPS Handa Championship was won by the Australian Lucas Herbert, who finished one shot ahead of Scotland's Calum Hill for third place.

Canada's Herbert and Aaron Cockerill ended with scores of 15 under par, and the second extra hole was where the match was decided.

Hill finished with a final-round 65 to take sole third place, one stroke ahead of fellow countryman Grant Forrest.
Robert MacIntyre, a fellow Scot, posted the lowest score on Sunday with a 64, enough for a tie for sixth place.

MacIntyre and Jordan Smith of England both finished the week at 11 under par.

At the PGM Ishioka Golf Club in Omitama, another Scotsman, David Law, was just one stroke back after three rounds but faded after a discouraging 75.

While third-round leader Cockerill finished with a score of 68, which included an incredible comeback from the sand at the last hole, Herbert's 67 contained an eagle, three birdies, and two bogeys.

After Herbert rebounded from a tee shot into the woods to win with a birdie at the following extra hole, Cockerill watched an off-the-green putt dip out at the first extra hole.

The 27-year-old athlete remarked after winning his fourth career crown: "It's a real honor.
"Just to be back in Japan and win as well. I've come here so many times and loved it so to get back here and win, it means a lot.

"I think it's cool to be able to win everywhere and have a lot of good memories from all the spots in the world where you have played."
