Iniesta, Barcelona get penalty kick, Massey front main penalty, however, this scoring than does not scoring also difficult of superstar, is will penalty kick penalty lost has, Barcelona also therefore 0:0 and Sevilla war flat. Fair goddess didn't come, Spain media said after the game, which proves that, Massey sometimes is mortal, Barcelona will be the occasional human team.
Seville, and the first world war, statistics show after the game, Barcelona ball hit 73.9%, shooting is also carries as high as 21 times! More important is that no one can stop Messi also won a penalty opportunity! But the end result on the scoreboard is frozen in 0:0. The night did not belong to Macy 's, in fact, Macy's has created many opportunities, from team-mates to get many scoring chances. In 17 minutes and 35 minute Messi Miss A. Iniesta and Villa from Beck and the left crossing, 45 minutes as out right shot, 56-minute header scramble for the right place, after 78 minutes of plunge into restricted areas small angle shooting, as well as 49 minutes direct free kick chance sth Goalkeeper Tinto Brass, like his predecessors of Palop have done the same, again and again, like the gods stop Lionel Messi.
Three days before the Camp Nou, UEFA Champions League ruolv Pilsen victory, dismal Macy House are longing for a goal, but in the end column became the Argentina striker stopper. Perhaps tired of the continuous war affected Massey's play, Barcelona, 10th of that game is not in the best of the State, and three days later, Massey seems still not recovered their shakers, all-powerful feeling.
At the end, A. Iniesta breakthrough as Barcelona won the penalty shoot-out in the closed area of opportunity. Massey yield to nobody stood before the main penalty points, due to time of 2 minutes short of the end of the game, it can be said as long as the shootout penalties, Barca will beat the competition, and the Massey becomes the well-deserved gunnin ' Phoenix Suns hero. However, the protagonist of Camp Nou that night was clearly not Massey, "little flea" kicked out of the penalty kick was shut out all the fabulous Tinto Brass. -Bashing out Macy's penalty kick, exciting Tinto Brass clench one's fists, keep roaring. The other side, Massey reluctantly flexible scratching their head, annoyed.

Massey missed a penalty kick
This is the first penalty kick of Barcelona season, but Massey is fine it threw, and previous Massey lost a penalty shootout, was a season ago, sum has been 403 days. Last season in the UEFA Champions League first round, Barca 5:1 victory over Greece champion Panathinaikos FC, Massey missed a penalty kick, failed to complete the hat-trick. However the last time Barcelona victory, this time to Barcelona is dull, and Macy's two free throws on penalties, the mood is very different.
A draw for Barca record of new home victory of the season ended, and Massey also suffered a shortage of the 6th game of the season, it is worth mentioning that, in Massey failed to score in 6 games, Barca only achieved 2 Wins 4 record, victory or even less than 40%. Catalan media said Massey had two faces, that he is not extraterrestrial, not aliens, but a people on Earth. This is a reminder when it comes to soccer Idol, not forgetting a basic truth: the stars at some times and some play a decisive role in separate operations, but he is not always able to play a decisive role.
Massey himself knows it, also because of this, both teams win and in the defeat, he is still himself, humble, simple, and all the players, like Macy's as well as up and down, but he has been in the effort to maintain peak and magic when he played far better than when you play.

The Villans told the club’s official website
Despite impressing in the recent match against Wigan Athletic, the 25-year-old was withdrawn from England’s squad due to back injury.

McLeish has expressed his disappointed over the unavailability of Nathan and has confirmed that the English striker will miss at least next two matches.
The Scotsman added, "I am disappointed for Nathan as I think his hamstring prevented him playing the rest of the game. Also it has maybe cost him a couple of games here.”
"He has got to do a bit of preventative work in the gym but I'm sure Adrian Lamb will help him attain stronger hamstrings that enable him to make his bursts from start to finish in games," Alex McLeish concluded.
Aston Villa will visit Premier League current joint leaders, Manchester City this weekend. The Villans are currently placed seventh in the League standings with 11 points in seven matches.

by injury problems
La Liga champions have been marred by injury problems to their star personnel after the culmination of the international break. Barcelona take on Racing Santander on Saturday, October 15 at Camp Nou.
Guardiola’s men are expected to take all the points on offer, however, history suggests otherwise following the international break. The Catalan team fails to produce their best form after the break, famously proclaimed as the FIFA virus.
Evidence of the FIFA virus could be seen by checking the all-conquering team’s performance after returning to club action. A clearly jaded Barcelona drew against Real Sociedad, as players returned from international duty in September.
The manager has considerable selection problems before the league encounter, as many first team regulars picked up knocks.
Xavi Hernandez is the biggest causality of the break. The experienced campaigner limped off in Spain’s final Euro 2012 qualifier against Scotland.
La Masia academy product will be rested for the domestic tie, and will be joined by Javier Mascherano.
The Argentine international twisted his ankle in Argentina's 1-0 defeat in Venezuela on Wednesday.
Absence of the duo has added to the injury woes of the Catalan club. Cesc Fabregas, Ibrahim Afellay and Alexis Sanchez are all ruled out of action, with the Dutch midfielder ruled out for six months.
However, there is good news for Guardiola, as he welcomes Andres Iniesta back to the first team fold after a month on the sidelines.
With a clutch of first team player’s missing league and European actions in the coming weeks, Barcelona can ill afford to lose any more players.

Setting up for an overhand serve.
A player making a jump serve.A player stands behind the inline and serves the ball, in an attempt to drive it into the opponent's court. His or her main objective is to make it land inside the court; it is also desirable to set the ball's direction, speed and acceleration so that it becomes difficult for the receiver to handle it properly. A serve is called an "ace" when the ball lands directly onto the court or travels outside the court after being touched by an opponent.
In contemporary volleyball, many types of serves are employed:
Underhand: a serve in which the player strikes the ball below the waist instead of tossing it up and striking it with an overhand throwing motion. Underhand serves are considered very easy to receive and are rarely employed in high-level competitions.
Sky ball serve: a specific type of underhand serve occasionally used in beach volleyball, where the ball is hit so high it comes down almost in a straight line. This serve was invented and employed almost exclusively by the Brazilian team in the early 1980s and is now considered outdated. In Brazil, this serve is called Jornada nas Estrelas (Star Trek).
Topspin: an overhand serve where the player tosses the ball high and hits it with a wrist span, giving it topspin which causes it to drop faster than it would otherwise and helps maintain a straight flight path. Topspin serves are generally hit hard and aimed at a specific returner or part of the court. Standing topspin serves are rarely used above the high school level of play.
Float: an overhand serve where the ball is hit with no spin so that its path becomes unpredictable, akin to a knuckleball in baseball.
Jump serve: an overhand serve where the ball is first tossed high in the air, then the player makes a timed approach and jumps to make contact with the ball, hitting it with much pace and topspin. This is the most popular serve amongst college and professional teams.
Jump float: an overhand serve where the ball is tossed high enough that the player may jump before hitting it similarly to a standing float serve. The ball is tossed lower than a topspin jump serve, but contact is still made while in the air. This serve is becoming more popular amongst college and professional players because it has a certain unpredictability in its flight pattern.

Recent rule changes
Other rule changes enacted in 2000 include allowing serves in which the ball touches the net, as long as it goes over the net into the opponents' court. Also, the service area was expanded to allow players to serve from anywhere behind the end line but still within the theoretical extension of the sidelines.
Other changes were made to lighten up calls on faults for carries and double-touches, such as allowing multiple contacts by a single player ("double-hits") on a team's first contact provided that they are a part of a single play on the ball.
In 2008, the NCAA changed the minimum number of points needed to win any of the first four sets from 30 to 25 for women's volleyball (men's volleyball remained at 30.) If a fifth (deciding) set is reached, the minimum required score remains at 15. In addition, the word "game" is now referred to as "set".
Changes in rules have been studied and announced by FIVB in recent years, and they have released the updated rules in 2009.

The volleyball vcourt
The game is played on a volleyball court 18 meters (59 feet) long and 9 meters (29.5 feet) wide, divided into two 9 m × 9 m halves by a one-meter (40-inch) wide net placed so that the top of the net is 2.43 meters (7 feet 11 5/8 inches) above the center of the court for men's competition, and 2.24 meters (7 feet 4 1/8 inches) for women's competition (these heights are varied for veterans and junior competitions).
There is a line 3 meters from and parallel to the net in each team court which is considered the "attack line". This "3 meter" (or 10 foot) line divides the court into "back row" and "front row" areas (also back court and front court). These are in turn divided into 3 areas each: these are numbered as follows, starting from area "1", which is the position of the serving player:
After a team gains the serve (also known as siding out), its members must rotate in a clockwise direction, with the player previously in area "2" moving to area "1" and so on, with the player from area "1" moving to area "6".
The team courts are surrounded by an area called the free zone which is a minimum of 3 meters wide and which the players may enter and play within after the service of the ball.[9] All lines denoting the boundaries of the team court and the attack zone are drawn or painted within the dimensions of the area and are therefore a part of the court or zone. If a ball comes in contact with the line, the ball is considered to be "in". An antenna is placed on each side of the net perpendicular to the sideline and is a vertical extension of the side boundary of the court. A ball passing over the net must pass completely between the antennae (or their theoretical extensions to the ceiling) without contacting them.

Developmant of Volleyball
Refinements and later developmentsThe first official ball used in volleyball is disputed; some sources say that Spalding created the first official ball in 1896, while others claim it was created in 1900. The rules evolved over time: in the Philippines by 1916, the skill and power of the set and spike had been introduced, and four years later a "three hits" rule and a rule against hitting from the back row were established. In 1917, the game was changed from 21 to 15 points. In 1919, about 16,000 volleyballs were distributed by the American Expeditionary Forces to their troops and allies, which sparked the growth of volleyball in new countries.
The first country outside the United States to adopt volleyball was Canada in 1900. An international federation, the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB), was founded in 1947, and the first World Championships were held in 1949 for men and 1952 for women. The sport is now popular in Brazil, in Europe (where especially Italy, the Netherlands, and countries from Eastern Europe have been major forces since the late 1980s), in Russia, and in other countries including China and the rest of Asia, as well as in the United States.
Beach volleyball, a variation of the game played on sand and with only two players per team, became a FIVB-endorsed variation in 1987 and was added to the Olympic program at the 1996 Summer Olympics. Volleyball is also a sport at the Paralympics managed by the World Organization Volleyball for Disabled.

Professional golf with new tour
China's golf bosses have restructured the professional game in the country with a new "Greater China Tour", which will include a six-tournament circuit in place of the China Tour.
The China Tour was launched in 2005 with the aim of providing regular tournament golf for the country's professionals and, sponsored by Swiss watchmakers Omega, ran four events last year.
The China Golf Association (CGA) have replaced it with the Chinese Pro Golf Championships in a new five-tiered structure for 2010. "I am glad to tell you the China Tour is not dead. It is sill alive and even stronger," secretary general Zhang Xiaoning told the CGA's website (http://www.golf.org.cn/).
"With golf entering the Olympic Games, from 2010 on the CGA will integrate golf events in China to create the Greater China Tour," he added.
"The Chinese Pro Golf Championship is a fourth tier event of the Greater China Tour, with total prize money of $200,000 to $1 million. The 2010 Tour will have six stages, starting in early April."
The return of golf to the Olympics from 2016 has been a great boost to the state-run CGA, which can now count on greater financial support from China's sports system but will also need to produce top quality players to eventually compete for medals.
China's top player is Liang Wenchong, who has won one European Tour sanctioned event, was the 2007 Asian Tour champion and is currently ranked 85th in the world.
The higher tiers of the Greater China Tour are likely to include the four events on the fledgling OneAsia Tour in 2010, the Luxe Hills Championship, the China Open, the China Classic and Shandong Gold Cup.
China will again this year host the WGC-HSBC Champions, which is co-sanctioned by the CGA, U.S. PGA, the European and Asian Tours, South Africa's Sunshine Tour and the Australasian PGA.
The $7 million event could move from its present venue in Shanghai after 2010, although it will probably stay in China at a venue owned by the Mission Hills club in Shenzhen.

BEIJING - Third seed Vera Zvonareva crumbled to a 6-1 6-2 defeat by Serbia's Ana Ivanovic in the third round of the China Open on Wednesday and there was more disappointment for home fans as Zheng Jie was bundled out by Agnieszka Radwanska.
Zvonareva, the world number three, had no answer to the attacking groundstrokes of 18th seed Ivanovic in a one-sided opening set. The Russian tried to mix things up in the second but could make little impression and was left on the floor by one wrong-footing forehand by her opponent.
Fourth seed Victoria Azarenka secured a last 16 berth with a 7-6 6-3 victory over Slovakian Polona Hercog.
Zheng enjoyed strong support from a partisan crowd in the 15,000-seater arena but the world No.72's hopes of claiming a major scalp were crushed by Radwanska in a 6-1 6-4 defeat.
With French Open champion Li Na a surprise first-round casualty China's sole survivor in the tournament is lowly-ranked wildcard Zhang Ze who faces a daunting task against Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in the men's second round on Thursday.
In the men's draw, Spain's Fernando Verdasco came back from a set behind against Italy's Flavio Cipolla, winning 2-6 6-1 6-2 to reach the quarter-finals. Russia's Mikhail Youzhny beat Spain's Feliciano Lopez 6-7 6-2 7-5.

Tseng wins British Open for 5th major
CARNOUSTIE, Scotland - Judging by the record books, Yani Tseng is 10 years ahead of Annika Sorenstam.
The 22-year-old Chinese Taipei golfer won the Women's British Open for the second straight year on Sunday, beating Brittany Lang by four strokes and becoming the youngest player - male or female - to capture a fifth major title.
Sorenstam was 32 when she won the 2003 LPGA Championship for her fifth major. Tiger Woods was 24 when he won his fifth at the 2000 PGA Championship.
"It's so great making history on this golf course, and I feel wonderful right now," said Tseng, who is ranked No 1 and won the LPGA Championship last month. "I hope to keep winning. Next year there are another four majors and I will try and organize and keep working hard."
Tseng became only the third player to win consecutive British titles, joining Sherri Steinhaurer (1998, 1999) and Debbie Massey (1980, 1981).
Tseng shot a 3-under 69 to finish at 16-under 272. She trailed third-round leader Caroline Masson of Germany by two strokes entering the final round. Masson closed with a 78 and tied for fifth.
"I wish to win more, but I am really happy," Tseng said. "I think in my mind I say, wow, five-times major. I never think about that. It just feels really very special."
Lang shot a 67 to finish at 276, one ahead of Sweden's Sophie Gustafson (68). South Korea's Amy Yang (67) was fourth.
Lang was tied for sixth entering the final day, eight behind Masson. She picked up one stroke by the turn but the American bagged four birdies at Nos 11, 12, 14 and 17.
"I made some really big par putts early on, and from then on played fairly flawless golf," Lang said.
Tseng dropped a shot at the first hole with three putts, missing a 3-footer for par. She birdied the third with a pitching wedge to 2 feet and the long sixth with a chip to 5 feet.
By the turn, she was in command. She was just short of the green off the tee at the par-4 11th and took two putts for a birdie, then dropped a shot at two straight holes. She hit an 8-iron over the back of the green at 12 and then hit the pin off the tee on the short 13th but her ball stopped at the edge of a bunker. She stood in the sand to play her second shot.
Tseng birdied the long 14th and finished with two birdies, holing from 20 feet on the 17th and hitting a majestic 9-iron to 3 feet at the last.
"I was a little nervous before the start, but then I hit a good tee shot and I felt good," Tseng said. "I feel that, having been in this position in a major a few times before, I am getting more mature and can handle the pressure better."
Masson dropped four shots in the first three holes of her closing nine. She finished at 9 under with local favorite Catriona Matthew, the 2009 champion, who had a double-bogey 6 on the final hole.
Sweden's Anna Nordqvist tied for seventh at 280 with South Koreans Sun Young-yoo, Na Yeon-choi and Inbee Pak. American Stacy Lewis had a 68 to rally to a 281.
Sweden's Maria Hjorth was at 282 after a 68 and Americans Katie Futcher and Cristie Kerr were in a group a stroke further back. Futcher equaled the best round of the week with a 64, including an eagle at the 14th, followed by three birdies. Kerr had four birdies for a 68 to finish at 5 under.
Paula Creamer dropped five strokes in the first five holes to be out in 40, then dropped three more on the back nine for a 79. Brittany Lincicome shot 73 to finish at 287 as did first-round leader Meena Lee, who closed with a 74 after opening with a 65 on Thursday.
The 22-year-old Chinese Taipei golfer won the Women's British Open for the second straight year on Sunday, beating Brittany Lang by four strokes and becoming the youngest player - male or female - to capture a fifth major title.
Sorenstam was 32 when she won the 2003 LPGA Championship for her fifth major. Tiger Woods was 24 when he won his fifth at the 2000 PGA Championship.
"It's so great making history on this golf course, and I feel wonderful right now," said Tseng, who is ranked No 1 and won the LPGA Championship last month. "I hope to keep winning. Next year there are another four majors and I will try and organize and keep working hard."

Too much tennis? It's time to talk
Grueling schedule to be subject at meeting of players sometime soon
SHANGHAI - Rafael Nadal refused Tuesday to discuss any potential meeting between players in Shanghai this week to discuss the punishing demands of the tennis schedule.
America's Andy Roddick said on Monday that Shanghai Masters no-shows from world No 1 Novak Djokovic and 16-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer were stark evidence of the of heavy playing commitments.
It followed comments from Britain's Andy Murray last month that he had held several talks with other players at the US Open and they would be discussing the issue in Shanghai, though he said on Tuesday there had been no developments.
"There is something there, but is not the right moment to talk about it, especially when nothing clear is done," Nadal said.
"Always is better to talk about the things when you know exactly what's going to happen and when you know exactly what we are going to do," he added.
But the Spanish world No 2 said there was broad agreement among players over the issue.
"I am in touch always with the rest of the players. You know, I talked a lot with a lot of players last month. We'll see what we can do."
"The important thing is that, yes, I can say because I'm sure we are, most of us, almost everyone, in the same way. So like this we have power. Now we'll have to keep finding what we really want for the future and make that happen if possible."
World No 4 Murray said the players would try to set up a meeting before the end of the year, but he sought to play down the issue.
"The players haven't met. The players will try and meet. When we do, you know, then I think it's really between the ATP (Association of Tennis Professionals) and the ITF (International Tennis Federation) to try and come to an agreement," he said.
"And until something's kind of done in writing or there's been any discussions, there's not really any point in saying anything because it just starts speculation."
"I think the tour is in a great place just now. But it's basically just a matter of like two or three weeks in the year that really I think need to change," Murray added.
Roddick said players were still fired up over the issue and insisted Federer and Djokovic were "only a phone call away," but he was unsure what would happen in Shanghai.

History of tennis
While the modern game of tennis originated in late 1st century England, most historians believe that the games ancient origin is from 12th century France, but the ball was then struck with the palm of the hand. It was not until the 16th century that rackets came into use, and the game began to be called "tennis", from the Old French term Tenez, which can be translated as "hold!", "receive!" or "take!". An interjection used as a call from the server to his opponent.It was popular in England and France, although the game was only played indoors where the ball could be hit off the wall. Henry VIII of England was a big fan of this game, which is now known as real tennis. During the 18th century and early 19th century, as real tennis declined, new racquets sports emerged in England.
Between 1859 and 1865 Harry Gem and his friend Augurio Perera developed a game that combined elements of rackets and the Basque ball game pelota, which they played on Perera's croquet lawn in Birmingham, United Kingdom. In 1872, along with two local doctors, they founded the world's first tennis club in Leamington Spa.
In December 1873, Major Walter Clopton Wingfield designed and patented a similar game — which he called sphairistike (Greek: σφ??ρ?στικ?, from ancient Greek meaning "skill at playing at ball"), and was soon known simply as "sticky" — for the amusement of his guests at a garden party on his estate of Nantclwyd, in Llanelidan, Wales. Sport historians agree that Wingfield deserves much of the credit for the development of modern tennis. The world's oldest tennis tournament, the Wimbledon championships, were first played in London in 1877. The first Championships culminated a significant debate on how to standardize the rules.
In America in 1874 Mary Ewing Outerbridge, a young socialite, returned from Bermuda where she met Major Wingfield. She laid out a tennis court at the Staten Island Cricket Club in New Brighton Staten Island, New York. The exact location of the club was under what is now the Staten Island Ferry terminal. The first American National tournament in 1880 was played there. An Englishman named O.E Woodhouse won the singles match. There was also a doubles match which was won by a local pair. There were different rules at each club. The ball in Boston was larger than the one normally used in NY. On May 21, 1881, the United States National Lawn Tennis Association (now the United States Tennis Association) was formed to standardize the rules and organize competitions.The U.S. National Men's Singles Championship, now the US Open, was first held in 1881 at Newport, Rhode Island. The U.S. National Women's Singles Championships were first held in 1887. Tennis was also popular in France, where the French Open dates to 1891.Thus, Wimbledon, the US Open, the French Open, and the Australian Open (dating to 1905) became and have remained the most prestigious events in tennis.Together these four events are called the Majors or Slams (a term borrowed from bridge rather than baseball).

How much do you know about tennis
Tennis is a sport usually played between two players (singles) or between two teams of two players each (doubles). Each player uses a racket that is strung to strike a hollow rubber ball covered with felt over a net into the opponent's court. Tennis is an Olympic sport and is played at all levels of society at all ages. The sport can be played by anyone who can hold a racket, including people in wheelchairs.
The modern game of tennis originated in Birmingham, England in the late 19th century as "lawn tennis" which has close connections to various field/lawn games as well as to the ancient game of real tennis. Up to then, "tennis" referred to the latter sport: for example, in Disraeli's novel Sybil (1845), Lord Eugene De Vere announces that he will "go down to Hampton Court and play tennis. As it is the Derby [classic horse race], nobody will be there".After its creation, lawn tennis spread throughout the upper-class English-speaking population before spreading around the world.
The rules of tennis have not changed much since the 1890s. Two exceptions are that from 1908 to 1961 the server had to keep one foot on the ground at all times, and the adoption of the tie-break in the 1970s. A recent addition to professional tennis has been the adoption of electronic review technology coupled with a point challenge system, which allows a player to challenge the line (or chair) umpire's call of a point. Players have unlimited opportunities to challenge provided the challenges made are correct. However, once three incorrect challenges are made in a set, they cannot challenge again until the next set. If the set goes to a tie break, players are given one additional opportunity to challenge the call. This electronic review, currently called Hawk-Eye, is available at a limited number of high-level ATP and WTA tournaments.
Tennis is enjoyed by millions of recreational players and is also a hugely popular worldwide spectator sport, especially the four Grand Slam tournaments (also referred to as the "Majors"): the Australian Open played on hard courts, the French Open played on red clay courts, Wimbledon played on grass courts, and the US Open played also on hard courts.
The modern game of tennis originated in Birmingham, England in the late 19th century as "lawn tennis" which has close connections to various field/lawn games as well as to the ancient game of real tennis. Up to then, "tennis" referred to the latter sport: for example, in Disraeli's novel Sybil (1845), Lord Eugene De Vere announces that he will "go down to Hampton Court and play tennis. As it is the Derby [classic horse race], nobody will be there".After its creation, lawn tennis spread throughout the upper-class English-speaking population before spreading around the world.
The rules of tennis have not changed much since the 1890s.

Golf introduction
Golf is a sport you play outdoors, under the sun, among scattered bushes in fairways while the cool breeze from the ocean resonate your desire to hit the ball straight forward to the waiting hole. It is a wonderful game, why can’t it be? You have both the pleasure and the leisure – pleasure from winning in a game played by masters, and leisure from the abundant foliage of charmed valleys where the game is played. Add to that the opportunity of rubbing elbows with the rich,
the famous and the eccentric!
Golf is a game in which a ball is struck with a club from a prepared area, known as the "teeing ground", across fairway and rough to a second prepared area, which has a hole in it, known as the "putting green". The object of the game is to complete what is known as a hole by playing a ball from the teeing ground into the hole on the putting green in the fewest possible number of strokes. A "round of golf' consists of playing 18 such holes.
There are basically two forms of play, one which is decided by holes won and lost (match play) and the other which is decided by the total number of strokes taken to complete the round (stroke play).
There are three important principles to remember when playing golf:
Play the course as you find it. Play the Ball as it lies.
And if you can't do either, do what's fair."
To do what's fair you need to know the Rules. The following is a summary of the Rules of Golf, simplified where possible.

Who knows any golfer come from Japan?
Japan’s Tetsuji Hiratsuka completed a dream week when he battled to victory by signing off with a four-under-par 67 to win the Asia-Pacific Panasonic Open on Sunday.
Hiratsuka closed with a eight-under-par 276 total to finish two shots clear of Korea’s S.K Ho and Kim Do-hoon who signed for matching 279s at the ￥150,000,000 (approximately US$1.7 million) event jointly sanctioned by the Asian Tour and Japan Golf Tour.
South Africa’s Jbe Kruger could not find the finish that he wanted again when he closed with 73 to take a share of fourth place alongside Japan’s Daisuke Maruyama, Hiroyuki Fujita, Toshinori Muto and India’s Jeev Milkha Singh at the Biwako Country Club.
Starting the day, four shots back of Ho in equal sixth place, Hiratsuka got off poorly with an opening bogey but he responded quickly with a birdie on the par-four third.
The Japanese turned in 35 after another bogey on the sixth hole and birdie on the par-four eighth.
However, it was a magical eagle-two on the par four 11th that lifted him up to second place, one back of Ho with seven holes to play.
Hiratsuka then snatched the lead from under the nose of Ho with a vital birdie on the 13th hole before another birdie on 16th sealed his entry into the winner’s circle again.
“This has been a dream come true. I always like to win at home and I’m glad it finally happened his week,” said Hiratsuka.
“Nothing beats the home crowd cheering you on and it really motivated me to give my best today,” added the four-time Asian Tour winner.
Ho, who was the second round leader, was disappointed that he could not mount a serious title charge.
The Korean conceded that he was let down by two bogeys in his closing 17th and 18th holes which could have forced a play-off with Hiratsuka.
“I was playing quite steadily today and it just all went wrong on the closing stretch. I drove the ball badly and they were very costly,” said Ho.
Meanwhile Kruger was left to rue another missed opportunity of lifting his first Asian Tour title
The 25-year-old, who held the opening round lead, conceded that his driving had let him down and visibly upset that he could not earn his maiden breakthrough again.
“Today was really bad. I just couldn’t find the fairways the whole week. I was hitting the driver all over the place,” said Kruger.
“If someone told me that I’ll get another top-10 at the start of the week, I would have taken it. But to end up like this is never nice,” added the South African.
