Japan's Nagasaki takes five-stroke lead at APAC
Gulf Today
|October 26, 2025
Sixteen-year-old Taisei Nagasaki opened up a five-stroke lead after the third round on Saturday at Emirates Golf Club’s Majlis Course in his debut appearance at the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship (APAC), while the UAE's Ahmad Skaik sits in 12th place.

Nagasaki began the day one back of a three-way share of the lead but quickly claimed the lead with birdies on four of his first seven holes. After a bogey setback at the par-4 12th, he tacked on four more birdies coming into card a seven-under 65 and reach 17 under for the Championship. His 54-hole total soars past the previous record of 14 under.
"The good thing today was that I was able to get four birdies on the front nine," said Nagasaki who turned 16 earlier this month.
"On the back nine, I didn't play well at No. 12, but got one back at the next par 5, which also led to three consecutive birdies so that was good."
