It has been a dream season for Philippines’ Miguel Tabuena, Korea’s Jeunghun Wang and Chinese Taipei’s Chan Shih-chang and their sensational run on the Asian Tour continues with the trio coming up against the world’s best players at the Sheshan International Golf Club this week.<\/p>\n
With eight of the world’s top-10 players teeing off at the US$9.5 million Chinese showpiece, it will be a contest like no other for Tabuena.<\/p>\n
“I’m truly excited about this week. I know my game is there and if I can play my cards right, I can do well. It’s just a matter of self-belief as I know I have the talent to perform at the highest level. ,” said Tabuena.<\/p>\n
For the 22-year old who grew up idolising the likes of former world number one Tiger Woods, his entry into the WGC-HSBC Champions marks the coming of age for Tabuena.<\/p>\n
“I remembered watching Tiger play in the WGC-HSBC Champions as a spectator and to be able to tee up in the same tournament as he did is really a dream come true for me,” said the Filipino.<\/p>\n
Wang is also looking forward to a memorable week in Shanghai having enjoyed a spectacular season highlighted by two back-to-back wins in Morocco and Mauritius in May.<\/p>\n
The victory in Mauritius along with three other top-five results helped the young Korean to move inside the top-10 on the Order of Merit where he currently sits in fourth place.<\/p>\n
“This is another big event for me and the key is not to get too nervous. The pressure got to me last week in Malaysia. But it’s a brand new week and I know I can do well if I stay calm,” said Wang, who finished tied for 29th in Malaysia last week.<\/p>\n
Chan is meanwhile reaping the rewards of his two Asian Tour victories in Thailand and Japan this season.<\/p>\n
Those victories have earned him a place in the elite 78-man field and it is another challenge which the 30-year-old is relishing.<\/p>\n
“It has been a wild ride so far but I’m enjoying every minute of it. I’m looking forward to the week and putting up a performance that I can be really proud of,” said Chan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
