Golf IQ Open Championship Player Guide - 2021

Ryosuke Kinoshita (bio)

Ryosuke Kinoshita Bio - (C) GOLFstats Inc. 2020

He is making his Open Championship debut by earning a spot in the 2020 SBC Singapore Open. With birdies on the final two holes, he finished T-6th, good enough for one of the four spots given out.

Kinoshita started playing golf at age 10. He turned professional in late 2013. From 2014 to 2018, he played on the Japan Golf Tour and the second-tier Japan Challenge Tour. In his first season, 2014, he was a joint runner-up in the Dunlop Srixon Fukushima Open, two strokes behind Satoshi Kodaira. In 2018, he won the ISPS Handa Challenge Cup on the Japan Challenge Tour, by two shots. In 2018, he also had his first top-10 finishes on the main Japan Golf Tour since 2014, including a T-4th in the Fujisankei Classic.

In early 2020, Kinoshita finished T-6th in the SMBC Singapore Open. The event was one of the Open Qualifying Series for the Open Championship and his high finish gave him entry to the 2020 Open Championship. The 2020 Open was later canceled but Kinoshita was given an entry into the 2021 Open Championship, his first major championship. In late 2020, Kinoshita was runner-up in the Mitsui Sumitomo Visa Taiheiyo Masters, a shot behind Jinichiro Kozuma, who had an eagle at the final hole while Kinoshita could only make par.

Kinoshita won first on the Japan Golf Tour at the 2021 Japan Golf Tour Championship Mori Building Cup Shishido Hills, winning by 5 shots from Yuki Furuwaka. Three weeks later, he won again on the tour, at the Dunlop Srixon Fukushima Open. He had a final round 62, to get into a playoff with Ryuko Tokimatsu, and won with a birdie at the first extra hole.
