Park's back on track after big payday in Japan

Park landed his fourth top-10 finish of the year with a strong seventh place in the $US1.5 million Asia-Panasonic Open at Kyoto's Joyo Country Club.

The Darwin Golf Club product produced a steady final round of 71 on a day where a number of his rivals fell away in the testing conditions.

As a result, Park moved from his overnight position of 24th to his eventual lofty finish at even par through 72 holes, eight strokes off winner Daisuke Maruyama, who earned a new blue jacket for his wardrobe.

Park's seventh placed finish saw him collect by far his best cheque of the year, $US44,862.21 and virtually shore up a tour card for 2010.

His earnings this week saw the 35-year-old rocket from 75th on the Order Of Merit standings to 33rd ($70,501.65).

Park finished as the leading Australian at the event, one stroke clear of Scott Hend, who finished at one over thanks to a 70.
