World Amateur No: Japan’s latest prodigy Taiga Semikawa, who interestingly was named after Tiger Woods, catapulted himself into the title race at the USD 8 million Sony Open with a 4-under 66 in the third round.

The former World Amateur No.1 Semikawa is touted as Japan’s next great hope in golf, and he is now 11-under. He shot 68-65 in the first two rounds.

Semikawa is tied for fourth place three places behind the leaders. Keegan Bradley (63), a seven-time PGA tour winner, and Grayson Murray (64), seeking a second career win, grabbed the 54-hole lead on 14-under.
