Ben Campbell and the rest of the Hong Kong Open field might have had a struggle to stay in touch with the eventual three-shot winner, Patrick Reed, but Cambell’s runner-up finish adds another US$220,000 to his 2024 season’s earnings in Asia which are now nearly $US 850,000.
The defending champion, Campbell began the final round four behind the American after Reed had produced a remarkable round of 59 on Saturday but although he reduced that margin to three, the margin was perhaps flattered by Reed dropping two shots late in his final round.
Wade Ormsby improved his standings for 2024 with a share of 4th place with weekend rounds of 64 and 65 to improve to 22nd on the Order of Merit.
Two events remain on the Asian Tour for those eligible, both events International Series events in Qatar this week and in Saudi Arabia the first week of December. The events are worth US$2.5 million and US$ 5 million respectively.
