Yoshitaka Takeya thought he was heading for a playoff after squandering a late lead at the Japan Golf Tour Championship. Instead, he walked off with his first title as a pro.
Takeya won the Japan GTO tour's second major when South Korea's Lee Sang Hee was assessed a two-shot penalty after catching the Japanese on the last hole of the final round Sunday at the Shishido Hills Country Club in Kasama, Ibaraki Prefecture.
Takeya, the overnight coleader who started the round three shots ahead of Lee, rode a hot putter in a run of five straight birdies from the ninth hole, but bogeyed the final two holes to shoot a 68 and finish at 17-under 271.
Lee, who had eight birdies, sank a par putt on No. 18 to apparently force a playoff with Takeya after trailing by four strokes with four holes to play.
But tournament officials reviewed Lee's actions on the 11th hole, assessing him a penalty for improving his line on a putt. Lee said he was sweeping away debris with his fingers, but officials said he pushed down on the green, an infraction of the rules.
OSPREY -- Since its inception in 1969, Pine View has always been different from other schools in Sarasota County. It's the only public school in the county to educate students at the elementary, middle and high school level.
But arguments over the school's designation and how that affects curriculum has boiled over this year after the school district changed the school's classification at the state level.
Sarasota County School District officials say Pine View has been a "magnet school" since that designation was created by the state in the 1970s. Al Weidner, the district's deputy chief financial officer, said the only change in that designation that has been made recently was to switch the school's magnet specialty from "other" to "academically gifted."
But coinciding with the change, parents said they met resistance when they tried to sign their children up for dual enrollment courses through State College of Florida.
Dolores Parker, who has two high-school aged students at Pine View, said the lack of communication between parents, the school and the district has created mistrust, especially as
"Where's the policy? Where's the documentation? Where's the discussion? Where's the public input?" Parker asked of the change. "Where are the students and parents being affected by this?"
Parents have formed a group to battle the change and to advocate for dual enrollment and virtual class options at the school.
They've spoken at School Board meetings. They've created a website.
The Florida Department of Education defines magnet schools as those that offer a specialized curriculum to students outside a school's normal attendance boundary.
Each school has a particular theme or focus including academically talented, advanced placement, career academy, criminal justice, foreign language, performing arts, technology and science and math.
Bay Haven School of Basics Plus, Phillippi Shores Elementary, Pine View and Suncoast Polytechnical High School are all magnet schools, according to the FDOE.
