Barr, who returned to Asian Tour Qualifying School a week after, was left to rue a decidedly cold putter but was quick to point out the positives from Hong Kong outing.
“I tried really hard and it was a shame I didn’t get the putter going until late in my round. But my hat goes off to Unho, who obviously played really well to win again,” said the 44-year-old. “I’ve had a great time and it sets me up really well for next week, which is a massive week for me. I learnt a lot about where my game is, so it’s been a very positive experience.”
Mizuno, 23, would join Barr at Asian Tour Qualifying School and was delighted with the way he capped off his fine professional debut, going bogey-free on the final day.
“It gives me a lot of confidence,” said the former Hong Kong Amateur champion. “I didn’t start the championship well, so to finish with a 67 and move up the leader board was a very nice way to begin my professional career.”
