Yomiuri International
The Yomiuri International Tournament was a golf event from 1962 to 1971. It was played at the Tokyo Yomiuri Country Club. The tournament served as the final event on the Asian Golf Circuit. The tournament was cancelled by the sponsor Yomiuri Shinbun newspaper because of political tensions. [1] The Sobu Country Club offered a new tournament the Sobu International Open to replace the Yomiuri in the Asian schedule.
Peter Thomson won the 1962 event, finishing eight strokes ahead of Canadian Al Balding.[2] The following year the event was won by Doug Sanders, five ahead of Hideyo Sugimoto.[3]
