Asian Tour Book 2024

the rough. It was funny, I tried to do a little different mindset for me this week, at least on the back nine. I kind of saw the board, and that I had like a four-shot lead, and I was basically just trying to play match play against the golf course and par was a good score. I felt like if I could beat the back nine, I was going to be in good position, so making those birdies at the end was kind of nice for my little mini goal.” Uihlein claimed International Series England in August by the sizeable margin Peter Uihlein [far left] took the lead on The International Series Rankings for the first time after winning in Qatar. Miguel Tabuena [left] impressed with another strong finish. of seven shots for his maiden title on the Asian Tour and The International Series. It looked like he was also going to win the International Series Thailand two months later, but he bogeyed the final hole to hand victory to Lee Chieh-po from Chinese-Taipei. Victory in Qatar was redemption for that near miss and gave the Range Goats GC player a chance of winning the rankings the following week. “I feel like my game is trending, it's just getting better,” he added. “Like stuff I've been working on even before, all that stuff feels like it's kind of getting easier under the gun, which was nice. But yeah, it’s 1,000 points to the winner next week so it’s obviously all still up in the air.” Schwartzel’s round, which started with an eagle on the par-five first, was the lowest of the day. “It was a fantastic putting round today, I made so many feet of putts,” said the 2011 Masters champion. “It was tough again you know; the wind hasn't stopped blowing for the last three days. And you know, the golf course has been quite penalising when you miss the fairways and it's hard to hit the fairways with the crosswinds and stuff. So, it was always going to be a grind, and I needed a good putting round. I putted well and yeah, I was happy with my round.” South African Dean Burmester (69), India’s Anirban Lahiri (70), Eugenio Chacarra (71) from Spain, and Thai Suteepat Prateeptienchai (72) were next best placed on eight under. In the battle to retain playing rights for 2025 and finish in the top 65 on the Merit list in the final counting event, Australian Jed Morgan was the big mover. He carded a 71 to finish joint 37th and move from 66th to 64th to ensure he is safe for the new season. 129 I N T ER NAT IONA L SER I E S QATA R D O H A GO L F C L U B NOV EM B E R 2 7 - 3 0 | P R I Z E MON E Y: U S $ 2 . 5 M I L L I ON
