Azuma Yano gave it his all in the US Open - the second world major!

The 77th Japan PGA Championship is being held this year at the Eniwa Country Club in Eniwa City in Hokkaido Prefecture.

The UBS Japan Golf Tour Championship, the first domestic major of the season, kicked off at the Shishido Hills Country Club in Ibaraki Prefecture.

After a three-week layoff, the men’s tour has arrived at its fourth tournament of the season. This Mitsubishi Diamond Cup Golf 2009 is being held this week.

Team PRGR member Azuma Yano posted two tour victories in 2008 and finished second on the money list. We discuss what he's been up to lately.

The victory put him in range of the top money leader and set a record of finishing in the top 10 for eight tournaments in a row.

Yano used the PRGR Silver Blade SB-03CS putter to post an overall score of 15 under and win his second tour event overall and first in three years.
