Daisuke Maruyama

The "other" Maruyama made a name for himself when he finished third at the International in August. Additionally, he had three other top-10s, all of which came during the regular season, which is encouraging. Maruyama did not accomplish much in his first four months on Tour, but that was probably due to an adjustment period that would be understandable for any rookie, let alone one that's not familiar with the United States. After he settled in, he played well. Expect a more relaxed Maruyama to improve in 2007.
