O’Donovan Delighted, As Host Club Head Pro, To Be Playing All Four Hong Kong Open Rounds
Host club head pro Ireland’s Brian O’Donovan could not be more delighted to be playing all four rounds of the Hong Kong Open.
O’Donovan, 35, was out first on day two producing a superb three-under par 67 to momentarily enjoy the clubhouse lead in finishing at two-under-par before a very long way in knowing he had finished right on the halfway cut mark in the $US 2m event being played on his host Hong Kong Open course in suburban Fanling.
The Bandon-born O’Donovan began working ...

Smith Wastes Little Time Signalling His Hong Kong Open Intentions
Aussie Cam Smith brilliantly birdied five of seven closing holes in a blistering seven-under 63 on the opening day in the 67th hosting of the Hong Kong Open.
Smith’s effort, and in his first appearance in the premier Asian Tour event in nine-years, has him tied for the lead with Spaniard Eugenio Chacarra and with the pair one clear of the field on the Hong Kong Golf Club course in suburban Fanling.
Chacarra matched Smith’s effort also with five birdies over his inward nine.

Smith Eager To Become Newest ‘Down Under’ Golfer To Finish Top In Hong Kong Open
Cameron Smith has ended a nine-year tournament absence as he seeks to become the 15th Australian name to be added to the gleaming Hong Kong Open championship trophy.
Last year’s Open Champion, and still the highest world-ranked Aussie at World No. 20 and this despite being a member of LIV, last contested the event in 2014 in his then rookie season, and despite now 16 wins in stunning career, and also including two individual titles this year on the LIV Tour, Smith is yet to taste success in ...

Power Remains Side-Lined For This Week’s Butterfield Bermuda Championship
Seamus Power remains sidelined with injury and sadly thus ruling the champion Irish-born golfer out of his defence of this week’s Butterfield Bermuda Championship.
Power had been forced to withdraw from July’s DP World Tour Genesis Scottish Open, managing to play just nine holes of his opening round and while he played two rounds of the following week’s 151st Open Championship, he was still being hampered by the injury.
He returned to his Las Vegas residence taking three weeks off ...
Manassero Emerges From Golfing Wilderness To Officially Confirm Return To The DP World Tour.
Matteo Manassero has always been one of the more-affable players in golf and now after far too many years in the golfing wilderness what a sheer delight it is to report the 30-year-old Italian is officially returning to the DP World Tour.
It’s been a long four-year absence for a player who turned pro 13-years ago, wasting little time in breaking all sorts of Tour records but after this week’s final round of the season-ending Rolex Challenge Tour Grand Final in Majorca, Manassero has easily ...
