Luke Donald (FJ ICON) retained his lead in the final round of the Dunlop Phoenix tournament in Japan, to record a five-stroke victory. The Tournament was being played at the Phoenix Country Club, featuring some of the prominent names on the Japan Golf Tour.
Donald carded a six-under par 65 in the first round and shared the. He then showed another sparkling display of the game on Friday, to take the sole lead, following a seven-under par 64.
On Saturday, he failed to maintain his form and recorded three birdies against the same number of bogeys to finish with an even-par score for the round.
However, it was good enough to retain his position on top of the leaderboard. The final round witnessed him regain his form, as he carded a three-under par 68 for a 16-under par tournament score.
It was Donald’s third professional victory of the season, as he won the PGA Tour’s Transitions Championship and European Tour’s BMW PGA Championship earlier this season.
The victory also allowed the Englishman to leapfrog to the second position in the Official World Golf Rankings.
"BOOM!! 3rd win of the year - honoured to add my name to the great Champions that have won the Dunlop Phoenix Tournament," tweeted Donald. “Loved my week here in Japan - the Dunlop Phoenix is a great event, on a great course, great food, great beer....it's just great!”

Henrik Stenson (FJ ICON & Pure Touch) held on to his three-shot overnight lead to win the European Tour's South African Open on Sunday and end a three-year wait for a tournament title.
The Swede finished with a 1-under 71 for a 17-under total of 271 and his first victory since the 2009 Players Championship. It was also Stenson's first win on the European Tour in five years.
"2011 was a tough year with not much good going on on the course for me," Stenson said. "I felt I was getting closer and closer and obviously I'm delighted to get a win before the end of the year."
Fellow FJ ambassador George Coetzee was second at 14 under after the South African's challenge never really got going in the final round.
Coetzee put himself in contention for his first European title with a course-record 63 on Saturday, and he eagled the par-5 third hole Sunday. But he could manage only two more birdies and had three bogeys for a 71.
Stenson had four birdies, enough for a long-awaited victory despite a wobble midway through his round, when he made bogey on No. 6 and a double bogey on the short ninth hole after dumping his tee shot into the water.
He is only the second foreign player to win the South African Open title in the last decade and sealed his place at the season-ending World Tour Championship in Dubai after entering this tournament at No. 59 on the money list. The top 60 go to Dubai next weekend.
"It was great that I came down here from the U.S.," he said. "One of the big reasons was that I was 59th, so I needed a good week."
To cap his good week, the 36-year-old Stenson collected a little over $200,000 for the win.
