Fourth in SG: ARG at THE CJ CUP Hirata carded a one-under 70 on Sunday at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson to finish 15-under and tied for 19th.

Impact Hirata found himself in a tie for second after playing his first two rounds in a collective 13-under-par, but back-to-back 70s on Saturday and Sunday ultimately kept him from posting what could've been his second career top-10 on the PGA Tour.

Hirata will be in attendance again this week at Colonial Country Club for his Charles Schwab Challenge debut.
