Struggles with final round 76 Kitayama carded a four-over 76 in the final round of the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am to finish tied for 29th place.

Impact Kitayama started the final round just one back of the lead but got off to a sluggish start with three consecutive bogeys, and any hopes he had of winning were dashed after closing the front-nine with a double bogey and a bogey. He struggled with his ball-striking at Pebble Beach, losing 1.9 shots off-the-tee and on approach combined over two rounds. Kitayama has had an inconsistent start to his season with a runner-up finish as his only top-25 result over six starts.

Finishes T-73 at Sony Open Kitayama carded an even-par 70 on Sunday at the Sony Open in Hawaii to finish one-under and tied for 73rd place.

Impact While many players were going low at Waialae Country Club, Kitayama failed to shoot better than 69 in any of his four rounds as he made the cut on the number and only bested two players that saw the weekend. It was a disappointing result following a runner-up result at the CJ Cup in October, and he was mainly held back by losing 3.8 strokes putting.
