Fujita repeats at Golf Nippon Series JT Cup in playoff

Hiroyuki Fujita defeated Toru Taniguchi in a playoff Sunday to win his second straight Golf Nippon Series JT Cup.

The tournament was shortened to 54 holes after bad weather on Saturday, but Fujita came back to post a six-under 64 on Sunday and finish tied with Taniguchi at 10-under 200.

It's the 11th victory of Fujita's Japan Tour career and first since winning this event in 2010.

Ryo Ishikawa, who began the day tied for the lead with Taniguchi -- one stroke ahead of Fujita, finished with only a two-under 68 in the final round and was third at seven-under 203. Michio Matsumura (66) took fourth at minus-six, and Yusaku Miyazato (68) was fifth at five-under.
