UBS Hong Kong Open 2008 – Hong Kong Qualifying Round
November 11th, 2008
Taking place from 10-11 November over the difficult North Course at Kau Sai Chau, 54 elite players from Hong Kong—comprising pros from the HKPGA and amateurs from the HKGA—battled it out over 36 holes at the UBS Hong Kong Open Qualifying tournament to earn one of four coveted spots at the co-sanctioned European and Asian Tour event.
The first day provided cool and windy conditions, which was reflected in the relatively high scoring. Indeed, 76 proved to be the lowest score of the day, which was achieved by four players: professionals James Stewart, MK Tang and Lokky Lee, and Florida-based amateur Jason Hak. Only one shot behind them was Head Professional at Kau Sai Chau Paul Riley and Alexander Cheng. HKPGA Order of Merit winner Wong Woon-man was a further shot adrift after a 78.

A brilliant back nine of 31 (5-under-par) allowed David Freeman to clinch victory at the second leg of the HKPGA Order of Merit Championship today (May 28, 2008), a one stroke triumph over Wong Woon-man in second place.
