New Delhi: In-form S.S.P. Chawrasia will eye a third Asian Tour win this season when he contends at the $2 million UBS Hong Kong Open golf tournament next week. Chawrasia is enjoying his finest season after claiming multiple victories in a single year for the first time in his career. He won the Hero Indian Open and Resorts World Manila Masters and hopes to continue his winning form in Hong Kong.
“This is the first time I’ve won twice in a single year but winning three will definitely sound better,” smiled the 38-year-old. “It has been a great year for me because I also played in the Olympics and World Cup of Golf.”
“Obviously winning the Hero Indian Open was the highlight for me because I didn’t have a European Tour card at that point. But the win helped me get a full card in Europe and in Asia and my confidence just started to go higher from there,” said Chawrasia.
He will be among a star-studded cast where defending champion Justin Rose of England, Danny Willett and Ian Poulter will feature in the prestigious event sanctioned by the Asian Tour and European Tour.
Gaganjeet Bhullar and Chan Shihchan of Chinese Taipei will be among the Asian Tour stars in the elite field which includes Jeunghun Wang of Korea and Miguel Tabuena of the Philippines.
