Miyoshi, Japan – Sang-Moon Bae hung on to win the Coca-Cola over 73 at Miyoshi Country Club.

Bae built his lead in the first two rounds by going eight-under through 36 holes before walking a tightrope to the finish with a total score of one-over through the final two rounds. He finished at seven-under 281, one shot better than Tadahiro Takayama.

Takayama had a chance at victory, standing at eight-under with five holes to play, but bogeyed the 14th and the 18th to allow Bae to escape with the victory.

Hiroyuki Fujita also had a great chance to win, entering the day one back of Bae, but shot a five-over 77 on Sunday and never had a chance.

After Takayama in second was a group of three players tied for third at five- under: Tomohiro Kondo (70), Min-Gyu Cho (71) and Tetsuji Hiratsuka (73).
