Australian Wayne Smith came from behind Sunday with a final-round 66 to win the 36-hole Kuzuha International golf tournament, his second victory in two weeks in Japan.

Smith, winner of the Setonaikai Open last week, pocketed $28,800, raising his winnings to $72,000 in two weeks.

Smith finished the two rounds at 9-under-par 131, two shots ahead of Craig Parry, the first-round leader. Parry fired a 69 for a 133 total and a tie for second place with Japan’s Ikuhiro Funatogawa, who shot a 66.
