Kyung-Tae Kim closed with a 3-under 68 on Sunday to come from behind and win the Fujisankei Classic.
Kim finished his fifth Japan Golf Tour win at 8-under-par 276.
On his 26th birthday, Kim was even-par for his round through 13 holes. To that point he had two birdies and two bogeys, but a hot closing stretch gave him the title.
