HONG KONG, 16 Sept 2015, (HK Golfer News Wire) - When asked about the event, Hend said: “I find it very rewarding to play in front of the big crowds at the Hong Kong Golf Club. The atmosphere at UBS Hong Kong Open is always great. It’s one of the best tournaments on Tour and has a great history behind it.”
"The course is an awesome one and it puts many aspects of your game under pressure but the main thing is to not get ahead of yourself and you can’t be too aggressive."
Thongchai also looks forward to the UBS Hong Kong Open: “The event has a lot of history where many world-class players have won it over the years. Hong Kong is also a wonderful city to visit and it would be fantastic if I can play my best golf to contend for the UBS Hong Kong Open title.”
Lahiri is excited that UBS returns as title sponsor: “I’m really looking forward to returning to play at the UBS Hong Kong Open. It is fantastic to see UBS coming back to title sponsor the tournament and raising the prize fund for the players. UBS has been a great sponsor over the years on the Asian tour, so it’s good to welcome them back.
"The Hong Kong Golf Club is one of those venues where you want to go back to play every year. There’s a lot of character to the course, it’s like the Delhi Golf Club in some ways where it’s very demanding from tee to green."
The UBS Hong Kong Open takes place from 22 - 25 October.
