Scott's first professional victory in his home country; and it
shows there's still life in Scott's golf game after all. Back in

17-year-old Ishikawa, and it came at the right time. The top four
players not already exempt for the British Open earned a spot in
the field July 16-19 at Turnberry.

Ryo Ishikawa won the money title last year on the Japan Golf Tour,
about five months before he graduated high school. The first of his
seven victories in Japan came when he was a 15-year-old amateur,
making him the youngest to win on a sanctioned tour.
