Player Profile

Yasuharo Imano found success early on in his professional career. At the age of 26, he tasted victory in The Crowns in 1999, which is one of Japan's biggest golf events. With his star shining brightly, he followed it up with further wins in the 2000 Mizuno Open and notched two more victories in 2002.

The 32-year-old endured a title drought for three years before returning to the winner's enclosure with two victories in 2005 at the Suntory Open and season-ending Nippon Series JT Cup, which helped him finish second on the Japan Golf Tour Money List.

Yasuharo is respected as one of Japan's best players where his solid all-round game has helped him return to his winning ways. He is widely expected to play a big role in Asia's bid to lift the inaugural Royal Trophy against Europe.
