HILTON HEAD ISLAND, S.C.
(AP) — Early on, Satoshi
Kodaira was thinking only
of playing well enough
Sunday to make it to next
week’s PGA Tour stop.
Those worries are over for
the 28-year-old from Ja-
pan, who rallied from six
shots behind to win the
RBC Heritage in a playoff
and gain an invitation to
join the tour as a regular.
“This is a stage I’ve been
dreaming about,” Kodaira
said through an interpret-
er. “And having this op-
portunity to play full time Oladipo scores 32 points,
is a dream come true. So,
of course, I will accept full-
time membership.” Pacers stun Cavaliers
Kodaira defeated Si Woo
