Oliver Fisher
The joy of following journeyman golfers is that they provide endless triumphant or tragic stories, these some-time minor men who battle so fiercely out of the major limelight. So, for the month of March 2010, I have nominated the Golf On The Edge Golfer of the Month. And it’s partly thanks to Iceland’s volcanic ash that it is not a tearful Phil Mickelson (three-time Masters champ) nor the also tearful Marcus Fraser (winner in Korea) who is top man this month. No, it’s Oliver Fisher.

The Celtic Manor Wales Open

Denmark’s Jeppe Huldahl held off Niclas Fasth and Ignacio Garrido to secure his maiden European Tour title at The Celtic Manor Wales Open.

26-year-old Huldahl, who held the joint lead overnight, produced a nerveless display on the final day of the competition without dropping a shot on his way to an excellent 67 and an aggregate score of nine under.

Oliver Fisher carded an excellent 67, the 20-year-old birdieing the 9th, 10th & 11th before eagling the 18th to move to five under overall.

Alongside Fisher on five under were Richard Green and Jeev Milkha Singh, who both posted 69s, and Simon Dyson, who shot 70.

With the European Open at the London Golf Club Ollie’s first result since missing the cut on 6 of his last outings, this was a significant achievement for him, providing his first top 10 place for the season. Having split with coach Chris Jenkins earlier this year, it looked like our Ollie’s season was taking a turn for the worse.

Fisher on Form in Hong Kong

A bogey free round two, with five birdies ensured that Oliver Fisher maintained his pressure on the top of the table at the Hong Kong Open.

Finishing another impressive round, with a superb 65, means Fisher now sits top of the leaderboard alongside South Africa’s Louise Oosthuizen, Thailand’s Chawalit Plaphol and England’s Oliver Wilson, all on 8 under par after day two.

Having bogeyed the 16th hole on day one, Ollie bounced back to record a birdie on the same hole today which will boost confidence. With 3 birdies in the first six holes he was set up for his fantastic round nicely.

“I played very solidly today and I am in a good position going into the weekend,” said Ollie.

Montgomerie matched Fisher’s 65 to move into a share of the seconds at seven under, leaving him with high hopes of a repeat of his 2006 victory in Hong Kong.
