Collegiate golfer Yusaku Miyazato said he has decided to end his amateur career and will make his professional debut at the Sony Open in Hawaii next month.
Miyazato, the middle of three golfing siblings from Okinawa, made the announcement after finishing second at the Asia-Japan Okinawa Open on Sunday to match his career high on the Japanese pro tour.
The 22-year-old Tohoku Fukushi University senior's title collection includes a national junior title, a national amateur championship, three national collegiate crowns and two top amateur honors at the Japan Open.
