2019 Tour starts tomorrow straight after the 2018 ended last Sunday.
No break these days as the break comes during Christmas.
12 Indian players playing this week as it’s a co sanctioned event with Asian Tour.
Anirban and Gaganjeet are missing as they play the World Cup in Australia.
Great chance for someone to do well in Hong Kong this week!!
Great opportunity for Shubhankar Sharma to do well and seal the Asian Tour Order of Merit.
It will be some achievement to do it as a 22 year old. Maybe the youngest Merit winner, if he can win it.
Sanghyun Park is the main rival this week as Matt Wallace and Gaganjeet Bhullar are not in the field.
2 Englishmen of Indian origin, Aaron Rai and Jack Singh Brar are also playing this event. Aaron Rai is currently the joint leader with score of 5 under par, while Jack is tied with Arjun Atwal.
6 golfers have made the cut.
Aaron Rai has smashed the course record with a score of 9 under par and is currently leading the tournament by 4 shots with an overall score of 14 under par.
Jack Singh Brar is T14 with a score of 4 under par.
Sanghyun Park has been disqualified.

Must have tried to cheat??? Not sure or else you normally get a stroke or two penalty. Could be signing a wrong scorecard etc.
That gives Subhankar a huge advantage if only he can move up the leaderboard and finish Top 5.
Order of Merit won’t be decided this week as there are 3 more weeks of play left. Looks like Shubhankar is not playing next week. A top 3 this week can secure the Merit title for Shubhankar. Or if his nearest rivals don’t do well enough to overtake him.
Gangjeet Bhullar had a 2 under par second round and is T8 with an overall score of 5 under par.
