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.
