As ‘outsider', Gregory Havret was present last weekend in Hong Kong for the European Tour tournament and as the highlight of the Asian tour. Despite a very tough set (Poulter, McIlroy, Hanson, Quiros), the French held the line, missing to win due to the fault of a start to the last hole missed. He finally ends up on the second place, with two blows from McIlroy and relegating the headliners in places of honor.

After the recent success of Hennie Otto in the SA Open Championship, here is a second participant in the very next AfrAsia Golf Masters Golf who has become famous. This was bode well for the final tournament of the season, which has an exceptional sports plateau by successfully attracting leading players such as Nicolas Colsaerts (holding the title and ranked 14th in the European Tour), Victor Dubuisson, Gregory Havret, Jean-Baptiste Gonnet, Hennie Otto as well as Bernd Wiesberger who were all ranked among the top 100 in the European Tour. There are numerous contenders this year who have the potential to succeed Nicolas Colsaerts, who is the favorite of the event.
