Kitayama fired a five-under 66 in the final round of the WM Phoenix Open to finish in a four-way tie for 24th.
ANALYSIS
Kitayama's final round was his best of the week and was highlighted by his three straight birdies from holes five to seven. He struggled with his accuracy off the tee but did rank T5 in the field in driving distance and in the top-20 in GIR, SG: Approach to Green and SG: Around the Green. Kitayama has made the cut in two of three PGA Tour outings this season and is in the field for the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am next week.
