MIAMI — Unlike the wacky Florida weather — which one moment can be filled with thunderstorms and downpours or all of the sudden develop into sunshine and blue skies — Tadd Fujikawa was as consistent as any golfer in the first two rounds of the Nationwide Tour's Miccosukee Championship.

Fujikawa tallied 28 pars and four birdies, but three of the first six holes in yesterday's rescheduled second round cost the 16-year-old Moanalua High School junior a chance to make his first professional cut.

Fujikawa shot a 2-over 73 and missed moving on to the third round late yesterday afternoon by two strokes.

"I thought it went pretty well," said the amicable Fujikawa. "The front nine was a little shaky. I didn't hit it very well for maybe the first six or seven holes. Then I started getting my swing back, but when you get off to a tough start like that it's tough to bring it back and it cost me making the cut."

After a nifty 1-under 70 opening round on Thursday, Fujikawa was in position to make the cut, but persistent rain washed out Friday's scheduled second round.

Fujikawa practiced on the Miccosukee driving range much of Friday before eventually going back to his hotel room to catch up on some homework.

Fujikawa and his playing partners were one of the last threesomes to tee off yesterday at 11:50 a.m. EDT. By then the cut was even par leaving Fujikawa the chance to advance.

But an ominous beginning derailed the precocious teenager.

On No. 2, a 480-yard par-4 with water along the left side, Fujikawa drove his ball into the left rough. His second shot stayed in the rough. He missed the green on the third shot.

"It was tough," said Fujikawa, who double-bogeyed the hole. "Then I didn't get up and down for bogey."

On No. 3, a 360-yard par 4 with a dog leg left and the green protected by water, Fujikawa split the heart of the fairway with his tee shot.

Set up for a clear approach to the green, Fujikawa went left landing on the side of a hill. He wound up bogeying the hole.

"That second shot I just made a bad swing," he said. "So I couldn't get up and down. It was almost impossible."

After making par on No. 4, Fujikawa birdied No. 5. However, another bogey on the par 4, 470-yard sixth hole put him at 2-over on the day.

At this point the projected cut dropped to 1-under, but that's when Fujikawa got rolling.

He made par on the next five holes, a birdie on No. 12 and completed the second round with six consecutive pars to finish at 2-over.

"It's tough to keep your momentum going round to round," said Fujikawa, of Friday's suspended second round. "I just had a tough time (Friday) just waiting around a little. I think it did affect a few players, but you just need to grind through it. It was a learning experience."

Fujikawa now heads north to Lake Buena Vista, Fla., for the Children's Miracle Network Classic to try and make the cut in his seventh professional tournament.

"I think I need to work on the irons a little bit with accuracy," Fujikawa said. "I'm really looking forward to next week. My game's feeling a lot better than it has in the last month or so and I should be good."
