Life on the bubble a nervous time for Asian Tour regulars at HK Open
Livelihood at stake for those trying to retain their cards
There’s more than just a tournament at stake for at the UBS Hong Kong Open for a group of Asian Tour regulars. There’s a livelihood as well – at least in the short term.
As the final event on this season’s calendar, Fanling offers the last chance for them to play their way into the Asian Tour’s top 60 and thereby ensure they retain their card for 2017.
One shot, either way, and plans for an entire year – or, god forbid, more – can be thrown into disarray and it adds even more pressure across the four days.
Apparently the trick is to keep such matters as far from your mind as humanly possible.
