Aussie duo Brad Kennedy and Brendan Jones have reaffirmed their place inside the top-15 on the Japan Golf Tour moneylist with top-10 finishes at the Fujisankei Classic at the Fujizakura Country Club in Yamanashi.

Scoring proved difficult all week for the majority of the field but not winner Rikuya Hoshino, who closed out a five-shot win with a pair of matching 66s over the course of the weekend.

A pair of birdies to close out his third round saw Kennedy enter the final round tied for fifth and a 1-under 70 on Sunday was enough to move him up a further place at the conclusion of 72 holes to be tied for fourth.

It’s the third top 10 of the year for the Queenslander to go with his win in the SEGA SAMMY Cup and moves him up to eighth on the moneylist.

Jones’s final round mirrored those of earlier in the week with plenty of birdies and a number of dropped shots as he finished the week tied for sixth.

No one had more than Jones’s six birdies in the opening round but he also logged five bogeys to enter the second round tied for seventh at 1-under.

It was a similar story on Sunday where he turned 2-over courtesy of a birdie at the fourth, bogey at seven and a double bogey at eight but recovered with four birdies on the back nine before dropping a shot on his final hole.

Although the prolific winner is without a win in 2018 thus far his performance at the Fujisankei was the fourth top 10 of the season and sees him move up to 14th on the moneylist.

An eagle on the par-4 18th in the opening round gave Scott Strange momentum to carry into the following three rounds, ending his tournament with a 1-over 72 to finish tied for 25th, his best result of the year.

Won Joon Lee fired an even par 71 in the final round to be tied for 45th, two shots ahead of Victorian Matthew Griffin who had rounds of 72-73-72-73 to be tied for 50th.

Kiwi Michael Hendry, David Bransdon and Anthony Quayle all missed the cut.

New Zealand rookie professional Nick Voke made an immediate impression in his maiden event on the PGA Tour-China, firing the equal best round of the final round to finish tied for fourth in the Suzhou Open.

Since turning professional early in the year, Voke has been slugging it out on US mini tours and was tied for 33rd at the Fiji International presented by Fiji Airways and then tied for 40th at the MMC Northern Territory PGA Championship.

He underlined his potential with a spectacular final round at the Suzhou Jinji Lake International Golf Club, turning with three birdies to his name and adding five more on the back nine, his only blemish coming at the par-4 11th.

Max McCardle continues to be the leading Australian in China, now 16th on the moneylist after finishing tied for 12th in the Suzhou Open.

McCardle turned in 2-under as a top-10 finish loomed but had an adventurous end to his week, birdies at the 14th and 17th holes separated by a bogey at the 15th and double bogey at the par-4 16th.

A 2-under par 70 in the final round saw James Marchesani end the week tied for 18th, Andrew Schonewille and Corey Hale both tied for 23rd a further shot back.

Kevin Yuan and Bryden MacPherson were both under par on Sunday, their four-round total of 6-under good enough for a tie for 26th, South Australian David Lutterus improving his position with a 3-under 69 to be tied for 38th.

Sean Underwood (T46), Kiwis Luke Toomey (T51) and Daniel Pearce (59th) and DJ Loypur (60th) also made it to the weekend, Deyen Lawson, Sam Earl, Mathew Perry and fellow New Zealander Campbell Rawson missing the cut.
