CHIGWELL golfer Oliver Fisher recorded his best result on the European Tour for two months with an 11th-place finish at the BMW International Open in Germany last week.
The 22-year-old scaled the leaderboard on the final two days with a pair of excellent rounds after an even par second round looked to have cost him a strong showing and a bumper prize packet.

Special week for Italian golf
By Bruce Young – iseekgolf.com
Oliver Fisher surprisingly missed the cut at last week’s Spanish Open but he has been burning the candle at both ends of late both in terms of travel and being in contention in nearly every week prior. The weekend off might work in his favour and do not be surprised to find him bounce back quickly.

FISHER SET SIGHTS HIGH

By Andrew Mullen, Press Association Sport.
Oliver Fisher already has bigger goals in sight after all but sealing a return to the European Tour next season with a fifth consecutive top-10 finish at the Ballantine’s Championship.
Fisher was regarded as a better prospect than Rory McIlroy during their amateur days, but while the Ulsterman took up a US PGA Tour card this season, Fisher was faced with a season on the second tier Challenge Tour in Europe while also relying on invites after losing his playing rights at the end of 2009.
But after finishing tied fourth at Pinx Golf Club on Sunday, four shots behind runaway winner Marcus Fraser, the 21-year-old has already exceeded the earnings figure which secured a European Tour card last season while also ensuring a place in this week’s Open de Espana.
“I am close to getting my card for next season. I am playing next week and if I have a good week that will secure it for sure. At the start of the year I would have taken that come January,” said the Madeira Islands Open runner-up. “It’s been a good start, hopefully I can set some different goals now.
“If I have another good couple of weeks I can almost make the Race to Dubai. That will be the goal, see if I have a good week next week and then crack on from there.”

Lee Westwood and Rory McIlroy, the men currently occupying the first two places in The Race to Dubai, will headline the field for this week’s UBS Hong Kong Open at the Hong Kong Golf Club in Fanling.
Whilst McIlory is enjoying his best season of golf, he might care to spare a thought for Oliver Fisher who was expected to accompany him on a shooting spree through the professional ranks.
Having become the youngest Briton to earn a tour card, Ollie was not so long ago McIlory’s rival for the title of hottest amateur around. Now, suddenly and unexpectedly, Fisher finds himself involved in the fight of his professional life.
Ollie must finish in the top 40 if he is to close the gap on those above him in the Order of Merit, one thing is for certain, if Ollie misses the cut in Hong Kong (as he has in more then half of the tournaments this year) he’ll be out.
Since splitting with Coach Chris Jenkins in February this year, Fisher has sunk further and further into desperation. Ollie has turned to Lee Westwood’s coach, Pete Cowan, for support and now feels that he has turned a corner. Recent results appear to reflect this, having finished top 25 in his last 3 tournaments.
Ollie has positive recollections of Fanling from last year, having finished 11th. If McIlroy thinks the pressure is on at the top – it’s surely more testing being at the bottom.
C’mon Oliie, you can do it.

Oliver Fisher ended the week T21 ten shot behind the winner Michael Jonzon.
Fisher’s four rounds at the Castello Masters ended 68 – 69 – 71 – 66.
Ollie has found himself in improving form during the last three tournaments, having finished T12 in the Portugal Masters the week before, and T23 in the Madrid Masters prior to that.
Thursday sees Ollie enter the Barclays Singapore Open at Sentosa Golf Club, and with him finding his form once more, we’re hopeful for a good result.
