ADT leader boosts Sherwood field
ASIAN Development Tour’s Order of Merit leader Hsieh Chi-hsien of Taiwan has signed up for the Asian Development Tour’s ICTSI Sherwood Hills Classic in the $60,000 tournament firing off tomorrow at Sherwood Hills in Cavite.
Hsieh didn’t see action in last week’s ICTSI Eagle Ridge Invitational won by Malaysian Arie Irawan but is all-primed up for this week’s event.
The 24-year-old winner of Yeangder ADT title last month joins 25 other international pros and a slew of amateurs in today’s traditional pro-am, hoping to familiarize himself with the tough par-72 layout.
The winner gets the lion’s purse of $10,500 purse.
Irawan, who beat Miguel Tabuena by four at Eagle Ridge to claim his second ADT win this year and close in on Hsieh in the OOM race, will not be around at Sherwood.
The 72-hole championship is co-organized by ADT and Pilipinas Golf Tournaments Inc.
The ADT rewards the top players in the final OOM ranking with playing rights in the 2016 Asian Tour.
