A Mid-Season Retrospective

Looking Back On The Asian Tour

W

ith the 2019 Asian Tour

season reaching its

turn, we look back at

the players and events that have

made the mid-year report a very

compelling one.

The first half of the 2019

Asian Tour season will be best

remembered for thrusting the

region’s best and promising

players into the global spotlight.

At the season-opening event

in January, Thailand’s Jazz

Janewattananond outclassed a

host of world class professionals

including Sergio Garcia and Paul

Casey at the SMBC Singapore

Open for his third Asian Tour title.

New Zealand’s Ryan Fox

produced a dominant performance

in the final match by beating

Spain’s Adrian Otaegui 3&2 to lift

the ISPS HANDA World Super 6

Perth trophy the following month.

Zach Murray then signaled

his arrival on the biggest stage

by becoming the third fastest

Qualifying School graduate to

win on the Asian Tour in March.
