Timely return to form for Brad Kennedy

Australian Brad Kennedy has produced his best result of the 2024 Japan Golf Tour season with a share of third place at the ACN Championship in Hyogo Prefecture.
Gold Coaster Kennedy, had recorded a disappointing season to date on his now regular tour but great weekend rounds of 63 and 66 saw the storm up the leaderboard to finish three shots behind the playoff won by Japan’s Takumi Kanaya.
Kennedy turned 50 earlier this year and given that he has played consistently well during the later stages of his regular tour career, he is no doubt eying the possibility of joining the lucrative PGA Tour Champions where several of his fellow countrymen are doing well. In order to do so however, if indeed that is the path he chooses, he will need to negotiate qualifying school in December.
The next few weeks will also see plenty of money available on the Japan Golf Tour with their flagship events up for decision so Kennedy’s return to form is timely.
