Olympic and reigning UBS Hong Kong Open champion Justin Rose praises Clearwater Bay ahead of PGA Tour China event

Justin Rose holes the winning putt in Rio

Winner of the UBS Hong Kong Open last October, Rose says the city holds a special place in his heart and that PGA Tour China players visiting for the first time will enjoy a special week practising and playing at Clearwater Bay.

“The course sits within one of my favourite cities in the world, so it’s definitely going to be a fun venue for the guys,” said Rose, who enjoyed global exposure last month when he won the first Olympics golf competition since 1904.

“You feel like you’re a long way away from the city, even though you’re probably only a 30-minute drive. It’s nice to feel like you’re away from the bright lights and playing golf in a very dramatic, natural golfing landscape, sort of links style.”
