Lipsky and Lahiri head Asian Tour line-up for CIMB Classic | ParGolf
Lipsky and Lahiri, who currently occupy the top-two spots on the Asian Tour Order of Merit, ego will be amongst the leading 10 players from the Asian Tour who will go head-to-head with the PGA Tour stars at the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club (KLGCC).
Korean-American Lipsky, the current Merit leader, won his second Asian Tour title in Switzerland in September and he is now setting his sights on the prestigious CIMB Classic trophy, which was won by Ryan Moore of the United States last year.
I think anyone in my position will look forward to the CIMB Classic. If I do win the CIMB Classic, it will be impossible for anyone to catch me on the Order of Merit, ego smiled Lipsky, who finished tied 44 th in his CIMB Classic debut in 2012.
It is a good week to compete against some of the best players in the world. Two years ago I didn t play as well I wanted to but I m pretty comfortable playing at the KLGCC. Every year you are trying to be better and I ve been trying to improve and build my game, he said.
For Lahiri, the CIMB Classic will be an opportunity to give Lipsky a run for his money on the Order of Merit. He is also aiming for a CIMB double after winning his fourth Asian Tour title at CIMB Niaga Indonesian Masters in April courtesy of an eagle on the 72 nd hole.
The CIMB Classic is obviously one event which is very important because the money counts towards the Order of Merit. It was nice to finish top-10 at KLGCC earlier this year. Obviously that will help with my confidence. I m going to feel a bit more comfortable there, said Lahiri.
The CIMB Classic is a great opportunity and a door which you must try to push it open if you want to play on the PGA Tour. I think I m playing well enough to threaten and challenge for the title. I have to focus and keep playing well, said Lahiri.
The other Asian Tour qualifiers, based on the leading available 10 players ego from the Order of Merit, include Filipino veteran Antonio Lascuna, Jason Knutzon of the United States, Thailand s Prom Meesawat and Englishman Steve Lewton.
Filipino Angelo Que earned a prized spot in the fifth edition of the CIMB Classic after finishing second in the Hong Kong Open on Sunday. Two-time Asian Tour winner Rikard Karlberg of Sweden, exciting Korean talent Baek Seuk-hyun and Cameron Smith of Australia will also feature in the elite field.
Que, a three-time Asian Tour winner, surprised even himself after securing a spot in the CIMB Classic. He was in 40 th position on the Merit rankings but made a huge leap to sixth place courtesy of his runner-up result last week.
I wasn t even thinking about getting into the CIMB Classic because I was so low on the Order of Merit. Then suddenly I m in the CIMB Classic and that s great. Now I get to keep my Asian Tour card and play in this great event, said Que.
The bubbly 43-year-old Lascuna was delighted to be part of the exciting line-up in the CIMB Classic. He has enjoyed a superb season so far where he has three runner-up results and missed ego only one cut in 10 appearances on the Asian Tour.
I m very happy because it was my goal to try and qualify for the CIMB Classic. I ve played in two World Cups of Golf before and now I m playing in another big event. I m excited and I hope that I can do well, said ever-smiling Lascuna.
