Japanese teenager just fails in Dunlop
Phoenix tournament

Japanese teenager Ryo Ishikawa fell narrowly short as Prayad Marksaeng held on for a one-stroke victory at the Dunlop Phoenix tournament.
Ishikawa, 17, was seeking his second win within a month on the Japan Tour and pushed Prayad until the very end at Phoenix Country Club, Japan.
He sank a seven-foot birdie at the final hole but it was not enough as Prayad made par from six inches to clinch his third victory of the year on the Japan Tour.
He carded a closing 71 to finish eight-under 276 as Ishikawa (68) claimed second on seven-under.
Spaniard Gonzalo Fernandez-Castano and Japanese duo Shigeki Maruyama and Hiroyuki Fujita were tied for third on six-under.
Prayad, 42, was five shots ahead with eight holes left but double-bogeyed the par-three 11th and bogeyed the par-four 12th to leave the door open for his rivals.
However, a bird from 18 feet at the par-four 16th steadied the ship and the Thai player held on to claim the title.
