TOKYO (AP) -- Japanese teenager Ryo Ishikawa won his eighth career title on Sunday, defeating Shunsuke Sonoda on the fourth playoff hole at the Fujisankei Classic.
Ishikawa entered the final round with a three-stroke lead but finished tied with Sonoda (67) at 9-under 275 after a final round 70.
Ishikawa two-putted for par on the fourth playoff hole -- the par-4 18th -- and then picked up his second title of the season when Sonoda's par putt lipped out.
With a winner's prize of $270,000, the 18-year-old Ishikawa moved into first place in the Japan Tour's money rankings.
Han Lee of the United States finished alone in third after a 69 left him at 7 under.
