Hawai'i's Tadd Fujikawa struggled to a 4-over-par 74 today and fell into a tie for 57th place after three rounds of the The Crowns golf tournament at Aichi, Japan.

The 17-year-old Moanalua High School junior has a 54-hole total of 4-over 214 over the 6,514-yard, par-70 Nagoya Golf Club Wago Course.

Hilo's Gregory Meyer, a regular on the Japan Golf Tour Organization, shot 71 and is in the group of nine with Fujikawa at 214.

Japan's Royken Kawagishi fired a 2-under 68 for a 9-under 202 total and a two-stroke lead over Tomohiro Kondo (64) and Hiroyuki Fujita (68) heading into the final round.

Toru Suzuki (67), Shingo Katayama (69), Jeev Milkha Singh (70) and Wen-Chong Liang are three shots behind at 205.

Fujikawa had four bogeys — the third, sixth, seventh and ninth holes — and one birdie on the par-4 fifth to make the turn at 3-over 38.

He bogeyed the 10th, 13th and 14th holes with birdies on the 12th and 16th holes for 1-over 36.

Two weeks ago, Fujikawa won the Mid-Pacific Open in Hawai'i, becoming the youngest player to win the tournament.
