Rohan Blizard and Max McCardle will be looking to
consolidate their positions on the PGA Tour China Order of Merit at the final
event before the Tour takes a hiatus at the end of this week.
With one win and one top-10 in five starts to date, Blizard
sits third on the Order of Merit and if he can hold that position until the end
of the year will be headed to the Web.com Tour in the US.
McCardle started the year strongly but has slipped to 11th
on the money list though a good showing this week could vault him back within
reach of the top-5.
Blizard finished T13 at this tournament last year while
McCardle was T23 so both have decent form at the course.
The pair will be among 20 Australians teeing up in the
event, Wollongong’s Lincoln Tighe among those to watch.
One of the longest hitters in the game, Tighe has posted some low rounds in his
last three tournaments though is yet to string together four good scores in a
row.
He has only played three of the five tournaments staged but
with a T4 and T16 among his results he is the third highest ranked of the
Australians on the Order of Merit at 24th.
The full Australian list of players this week is: Ray
Beaufils, Do Eun An, Rohan Blizard, Taylor Cooper, Mitch Davis, Andrew Evans,
Gavin Flint, James Gibellini, Alex Hawley, Jake Higginbottom, Scott Laycock,
Peter Martin, Max McCardle, David McKenzie, Jack Munro, Michael Pearce, Jake
Stirling, Lincoln Tighe, Christopher Wood and Jake Younan.
