Brendan has made the cut at the Canon Open in Yokohama, albeit narrowly, and at even par finds himself in 44th position and seven shots behind the lead of Kutsonori Kuwabara.

"My putting was the problem," said Brendan soon after his round. "I'm not playing well but it was made worse by not being able to get the ball in the hole. It was a grind just to make the cut."
