S.S.P. Chawrasia of India continued to pile pressure on the Order of Merit leader Gavin Green of Malaysia after finishing tied seventh at the UBS Hong Kong Open <\/span>on Sunday<\/span><\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Chawrasia led the event in the opening three rounds before stumbling to a two-over-par 72 to miss out on his second victory in 2017. A win in Hong Kong would have taken Chawrasia to the top of the Order of Merit.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Indian was disappointed with the result but took solace that he edged closer to Merit leader Green, whom he trails by US$142,558 with four Asian Tour events left to play this season. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\"S.S.P.\u201cI missed a couple of putts in the final round but that\u2019s alright. It\u2019s part of the game. I\u2019ll be playing in the next few events and there\u2019s still a good chance for me to take over the leader on the Order of Merit. It\u2019s not over yet at least for the Order of Merit title,\u201d said Chawrasia.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Green finished in a share of 62nd place in Hong Kong with Scott Hend of Australia, who is still in the running to become the first player to win back-to-back Order of Merit crowns. Hend trails in third place on the Merit ranking with earnings of US$439,229 while David Lipsky of the United States stayed in second place on US$461,179. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Green, Hend and Chawrasia will head to the \u20ac1million (approximately US$1.07 million) AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open, which gets underway on Thursday<\/span><\/span>, where they will continue their battle for the Order of Merit crown. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt wasn\u2019t a very good week in Hong Kong but it\u2019s part of golf,\u201d said Green.  You play some good weeks and you have some bad weeks. It\u2019s just not a very good weekend, that\u2019s all. I think I did alright the first two days. The last two days, I just didn\u2019t finish well.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cS.S.P. is playing so well at the moment but I\u2019ll just move on to the next event in Mauritius. I\u2019m going to do my best in the last few events and try my best to finish strong,\u201d added the 23-year-old Green. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Young Thai Phachara Khongwatmai stayed in fifth place on the Order of Merit with earnings of US$358,352 while countryman Poom Saksansin, who finished tied-16th in Hong Kong, moved to sixth on US$326,678. Jazz Janewattananond, also of Thailand, occupies seventh place on US$305,925.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Asian Tour will head to the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open this week and it will be staged concurrently with the Asian Golf Championship, which marks the Tour\u2019s return to China for the first time in nine years<\/span><\/span>. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open will be played at the Heritage Le Telfair Golf and Spa Resort while the Asian Golf Championship, which features Chinese Taipei\u2019s Chan Shih-chang and Nicholas Fung of Malaysia, is staged at the Kaikou Golf Club in Xiamen, Fujian.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
