Nothing, it seems, ceases to amaze these days on the Asian Tour.
Three tournaments into our new 2017 season, wonderful storylines have emerged to provide the “wow” factor that only bodes well for the region’s governing golf body.
From veteran star Prayad Marksaeng winning the SMBC Singapore Open at the ripe age of 50 years and 357 days to rookie Todd Sinnott coming through in his second start and Jazz Janewattananond overcoming the despair of losing his Tour card to becoming a champion, the action on the fairways has been fast, furious and fulfilling.
Outside the ropes, the Asian Tour made landmark announcements where it will become a tri-sanction partner of the ISPS HANDA World Super 6 Perth and Fiji International this season alongside the European Tour and PGA Tour of Australasia while an agreement was reached with the organisers of the New Zealand Open as well which will see the Tour breaking new ground.
While modern day golf has seen the young guns blazing the trail by dominating the scene in recent times, sweet-swinging Prayad proved that old was still very much gold as he claimed a popular triumph in Singapore to become the second oldest Tour winner.
