Japan is a special place to me both professionally and personally and every year I have the ZOZO CHAMPIONSHIP week circled on my calendar. I'd love nothing more than to get a win for all the family I have over there and in front of the amazing Japanese fans. Securing a win in what I consider as my second home will be the perfect way to cap off the year.
