After parring his next four holes to make the turn at 13-under, Miyazato tripped to a bogey at the 10th.

However, he bounced right back with three birdies over his next four holes to reach 15-under before a bogey at the 16th dropped him back to minus-14. He parred his final two holes to finish there.

Hiroshi Iwata (67) finished in second place at 12-under, while Koumei Oda (65) took third at 11-under. Nobuhiro Masuda (67) and Adam Bland (69) shared fourth at 10-under.
