Classic Golf and Country Club International Championship Rd 3: What they said


Published on September 14, 2019

Rory Hie (Ina) Third round 67 (-5) Total 199 (-17)

This week has been pretty enjoyable for me because I managed to put into practice what I’ve been talking to Lawrie (Indonesia’s Golf National coach) about. I was struggling when I was playing the Indonesia Open last year and then he talked to me about how to play golf again like I did when I was a junior golfer. So I basically treated this tournament like when I was a kid basically (laughing) I just played golf, I didn’t think about my golf swing, everything was pretty positive, I was looking at where I wanted to place the ball. I always had a positive attitude towards every putt, it doesn’t matter if it’s a par putt or birdie putt. Right now I’m just really happy with the kind of golf I have been playing. But it also just shows that I still have the game.

Rashid Khan (Ind) Third Round 66 (-6) Total 200 (-16)

Today’s round was pretty good. I had a slow start, hit the ball well and hit some good putts, but just didn’t roll in. My first birdie was on the 7th and then the 9th and 10th as well. I dropped a shot on the 11th, I was in-between and ended up with a bogey. But a good comeback on the next hole with a two-putt birdie on the 12th. Playing a decent round, hitting the fairways, finding the greens. The scrambling is perfect. You need all of those things to score five-under or six-under.

Today, I just had one bad hole on 11th. Otherwise, I kept hitting on the green giving myself a lot of chances. On the 11th, I just didn’t bring my three-Iron. Last two days also, I didn’t keep a three iron and instead of that out a gap wedge in my bag. I hit a four-Iron and I knew it was going to end up short. Today the conditions were fine, especially the weather. There wasn’t much sun today and I enjoyed it today. I’m not thinking about anything for tomorrow. We’ll see on the last nine holes.

Abhijit Chadha (Ind) Third Round 68 (-4) Total 201 (-15) 

I did well today. I didn’t make too many mistakes today. Just got a little unlucky with a couple of my putts. I had three or four lip-outs which could have easily gone in. I started off really hot. I was three-under after four holes. I was doing the right things and kept hitting the fairways. Later on as well, I was doing the same things and hitting it close but just that the putts weren’t going in. Those putts could have easily gone in and my score would have completely different. I’m playing well and am very positive.    

Byungjun Kim (Kor) Third round 67 (-5) Total 202 (-14)

I hope I can win this tournament as I’ve limited starts on the Asian Tour and a win tomorrow will definitely open many doors for me. The week as been going well for me and I hope I can play a patient game tomorrow and hopefully something good will happen for me.

Rory Hie (Ina) Second round 68 (-4) Total 132 (-12)
My tee shots were really good today and that was the strongest part of my game. I actually didn’t get off to a good start as my iron shots were kind of dodgy but I was able to bounce back each time I made a bogey and the highlight of my round was really being able to recover each time I made a mistake. It was good to end the round with back-toback birdies. I felt like I was able to play the course very smartly and didn’t allow myself to make too big a mistake today. I’m actually very excited that I’m going into the weekend round with the lead as it’s not very often that I can do that on the Asian Tour. There’s always going to be pressure but you just need to focus on what you need to do instead of thinking about the outcome. So I’m going to do that and I think I did pretty well with that today.

Abhijit Chadha (Ind) Second Round 65 (-7), Total 133 (-11)
I am really happy to be in this position. I am really confident and playing well, so looking forward to my next two rounds. For the next two rounds, I want to go as low as possible. I have won earlier on this course so I’m not intimidated at all. I am very comfortable with every tee shot and it feels almost like a home course for me. I know it a lot and know how the greens are playing, so am quite confident. I putted really well today and put myself in good positions. Wherever I was there, I took the advantage and played well overall. On the 18th, I hit a wayward drive. It hit a tree and came back on the fairway. It was a lucky break and I capitalised on that. That birdie kind of gave me a boost and after that whatever shots I was playing, I was pulling them off. I made a lot of putts today on the front nine.

Aman Raj (Ind) Second Round 67 (-5), Total 134 (-10)
I’m happy with the overall score but ending with a bogey always pinches you especially on a par-five when I had a hybrid in my hand on the fairway. But this is golf and you have to take it and move forward. I made a very good birdie on the 14th hole. I was in the rough, made a good chip and the putt was around 6 feet. On the 16th, I made another birdie from 10 feet. On the 17th, I holed almost a 20-footer for a birdie. All in all, I’m in a good position going into the weekend rounds and I just need to keep doing what I’ve been doing and see what happens on Sunday.

Kosuke Hamamoto (Tha) Second round 65 (-7) Total 134 (-10)
It was great to end the round with an eagle. I played well and in fact, I’ve been really consistent this year. I’ve finished strongly in most events and I guess I’ve learnt how to play a patient game and knowing when to take my chances whenever they come around. I guess that mindset is starting to pay off. I just have to continue to focus on my process and not think too much about the result. If I play well, the result will speak for itself. I had several opportunities to play in some Asian Tour and local events as an amateur so I do know what to expect even after turning professional.

Nicholas Latimer (Usa) Second round 64 (-8), Total 135 (-9)
Anytime you shoot a 64 you’re going to end up in a happy place, so I feel pretty good. I actually hit it really well yesterday but didn’t get anything out of my round, so to capitalize on some of those good shots today felt good. The rough is pretty thick so you have to keep it in the fairways. So anytime I’ve gotten in trouble I just try to leave myself an angle at the flag. Whenever you are in a suspect spot the first thing to do it to get it out in play and go attack it from there, because the course can yield some birdies, but only from the fairways so keep it in the short grass. It’s my first trip to India and I’m enjoying it, I’ve got to know a couple guys like Samarth Dwivedi and Aman Raj pretty well just through Qualifying School, and we travel a little bit together. We all went out for a traditional Indian dinner two days ago, so I’ve been getting some good hospitality from those two guys so I’m enjoying my time here.

Gurgaon, India, September 13: Indonesia’s Rory Hie remains the man to catch as he returned with a four-under-par 68 to hold on to his lead after the second round of the Classic Golf and Country Club International Championship on Friday.

Hie, who held the overnight lead, stumbled early with an opening bogey in his opening back-nine 10. He recovered well by responding with two birdies in his next three holes before reaching the turn in 35.

The Indonesian dropped another shot on the second hole but responded well again with a pair of birdies on three and four and even stormed home with back-to-back birdies on eight and nine to secure his position atop the leaderboard.

India’s Abhijit Chadha meanwhile made the most of his intimate knowledge of the Classic Golf and Country Club- a venue where he has won thrice in the different stages of his golfing career by returning with a 65 to take outright second place, one shot back of Hie.

American Nicholas Latimer fired the lowest round of the day when he returned with a 64, marking his card with eight birdies and making it into the weekend round for only the second time in five starts on the Asian Tour this season.

Latimer is among a group of four players tied for sixth, three shots behind Hie.

Gurgaon, India, September 12: Indonesia’s Rory Hie found that much-needed form to stake his place atop the leaderboard after opening with an eight-under-par 64 at the Classic Golf and Country Club International Championship on Thursday.

The 31-year-old Indonesian has never found himself in contention of late but a return to the Classic Golf and Country Club after almost a decade has rekindled happy memories when his last visit in 2009 ended with a top-10 finish.

It was at the same venue that witnessed a slice of history when Thailand’s Chapchai Nirat recorded the world’s lowest 72-hole score with a 32-under-par to win the third of his four Asian Tour titles then.

A two-week break from competitive golf where he worked closely with his mental coach also paid off for Thailand’s Sattaya Supupramai as he returned with a 66 to trail Hie by two shots together with compatriots Kwanchai Tannin and Suradit Yongcharoenchai in tied-second place at the inaugural Asian Tour event.

Indian rookie Aadil Bedi took advantage of his course familiarity by signing for a 67 to end his day in share of fifth place with countryman Aman Raj and Sweden’s Andreas Gronkvist.

New Zealand’s Gareth Paddison meanwhile came close to tying the Asian Tour record for the lowest nine-hole score when he blitzed his front-nine with a 29.

However, he could not maintain that momentum after a triple-bogey seven on the par-four first followed by a closing birdie on nine saw him finish the round with a 69, five shots back of Hie in tied-18th place.

Sattaya Supupramai of Thailand

  • Rory Hie’s best Asian Tour finish came in Bangalore last year where he finished tied-fourth.
  • His best result in 2019 has been a tied-fifth finish at the OB Golf Invitational on the Asian Development Tour (ADT)

  • Sattaya Supupramai is making his second start on the Asian Tour this week.
  • His first start was at the Sarawak Championship where he finished tied-44th.
  • Sattaya has been playing mainly on the ADT this season where his best result was tied-fifth at the Ciputra Golfpreneur Tournament presented by Panasonic last month.
  • Aadil Bedi is playing in his rookie season on the Asian Tour after graduating from Qualifying School with a tied-ninth finish last December.
  • At 17 then, Bedi was the youngest player to tee up at Qualifying School then.
  • Bedi started practising and learning the initial strokes of golf when he was just four years old.
  • Throughout his 13-year amateur career, Bedi has won 171 Medals and trophies. He has also represented India in all the Elite and Major Amateur matches of the world including Asian games, British Amateur, Australian Masters of Amateur, Singapore Amateur and Eisenhower Cup, Ireland.
  • Bedi represented India as an amateur at the 2018 Asian Games. He led the field for the first three days but eventually missed out on a podium finish on the final day, finishing in 13th place.
  • Gareth Paddison’s last win was in 2014 when he won the Lexus of Blackburn Victorian PGA Championship on the PGA Tour of Australasia.

Rory Hie (Ina) First round 64 (-8)
This is probably like the most enjoyable round I had all year. I felt like I was in the zone for most of the round and everything just worked to my favour. I sent a text to Lawri, who is the national golf coach for Indonesia asking him about my game. And he told me to just accept my mistakes and play with what I’ve right now. That’s exactly what I did today. I just have to continue enjoying myself and approach the next three days with the same attitude. The last time I played here was about 10 years ago and when I finished tied-ninth. That was the year when Chapchai won and set the world record. The rough now makes it so much more difficult. If you don’t hit it on the fairway, you got to scramble and make par. Funny thing was the caddie I worked with back then still recognized me and we are reuniting again this week.

Sattaya Supupramai (Tha) First round 66 (-6)
I’m very proud of myself because I putted really well today. I took two weeks off and was working with my mental coach. We went through several things which included putting. I did not give myself additional pressure each time I lined up for the putt and was just very relaxed about it. So my mental game was good. If the weather continues to stay like this, I’ve to drink lots of water and keep myself hydrated as it’s extremely humid here.

Kwanchai Tannin (Tha) First round 66 (-6)
I’m very happy with how I played especially on this golf course. My last visit here was 10 years ago and I missed the cut then. So today, I’m pleased with my round of 66 as I now have a good chance of making it to the weekend rounds. I felt I could have gone even lower as I had managed to make a few more putts coming in.

Aadil Bedi (Ind) First round 67 (-5)
It’s a good start but I don’t want to get too ahead of myself yet as it’s only the first round. There’s still a long way to go. This is my first event at home where I’m playing as an Asian Tour member and it feels great, especially with a tournament on home soil and at a course where I grew up playing. I have a lot of support here. It’s definitely an advantage for me. I played a lot of tournaments here and I know the course well.

Gareth Paddison of New Zealand

Gareth Paddison (Nzl) First round 69 (-3)
It was a game of two halves today. I was bitterly disappointed with how I finished. It was really exciting how I started with a birdie. I hit it close, in fact I managed to hit it close on many occasions in the first nine. I even managed to get an eagle as well. The putts kept dropping and I just played amazingly well. I made the most of my opportunities. It’s just one of those things where if you hit it close, you hole the putts. That was it. I missed a seven-footer at the last for a 28. But I cannot complain about how I played the front-nine. My back-nine was quite different. I hit one bad shot on the first hole and that caused me three shots. Then my putts were not close enough and they just didn’t drop. Maybe I lost my momentum with my triple on that first hole and I had to finish with a bogey on the last which was also disappointing. But I’m still in a good position after the first round. You can’t win a tournament in the first round and I just have to continue to shoot a low number tomorrow.

The Tournament

The Classic Golf and Country Club International Championship will be making its debut on the Asian Tour this week, offering a prize purse of US$300,000, of which US$54,000 will go to the winner.

The Course

Designed by the legendary Jack Nicklaus, the Classic Golf and Country Club will play as a par-72 and 7,114 yards from the championship tees.

The course opened for play in 1998 and though this is the first edition of this event, Classic Golf and Country Club has hosted three Tour events previously: the 2000 and 2001 Wills Indian Opens, and the 2009 SAIL Open.

Eight-time Asian Tour winner Jyoti Randhawa of India won in a play-off against South African Sammy Daniels in 2000, while Thai star Thongchai Jaidee claimed the 2001 edition by a single stroke over Ross Bain of Scotland.

The most notable event held at Classic was probably the 2009 SAIL Open. Chapchai Nirat of Thailand recorded the lowest ever score to par after 72 holes in a major golf tournament, and with a score of 32-under-par went on to win by 11 shots. This record still stands in the Guinness World Records today.

The Contenders

Since we have not been back to Classic Golf and Country Club since 2009, we are sort of in an uncharted territory when it comes to “horses for courses” picks.

Jyoti Randhawa is the only past winner of an Asian Tour event held at Classic in the field this week, and the list of players that has played in any of the three Asian Tour events held here is quite short.

So, this week’s picks will all be based mainly on current form, and I will start with the player who is maybe the hottest at the moment, first year pro Kosuke Hamamoto of Thailand.

A runner-up to Yikeun Chang last week in Taipei, and in doing so locking up his 2020 Asian Tour card, Hamamoto has been impressive all year.

With 14 top-20 finishes and seven top-10s on the Asian Tour, Asian Development Tour (ADT) and All Thailand Golf Tour (ATGT) combined, he has shown remarkable consistency in performance.

Hamamoto made only one bogey in four rounds in Taipei last week and went bogey-free in his last 52 holes of the tournament. If he can emulate that feat at Classic this week, he could be a tough player to beat.

India’s Viraj Madappa won his maiden Asian Tour event just over a year ago in Bangalore, taking home the TAKE Solutions Masters trophy in his rookie Asian Tour season. Following up on a win in bigger events against stronger competition is never easy, but Madappa seems to have learned a lot from his experiences in the past year.

Excited to be playing in front of home crowds again, he is also full of confidence. After two solid events in a row in Taipei and Jakarta where he finished 25th and 22nd respectively, Madappa feels like he is playing well enough to win again.

Having the comfort of home crowds and past knowledge of the course could see him through to another top finish this week, and he would be a very popular player on top of the leaderboard on Sunday afternoon.

Fellow Indian Chikkarangappa S. is definitely due for his first Asian Tour victory. “Chikka” has already won twice on the PGTI this season in his only two events played on that Tour, and also has two wins on the ADT, the 2014 and 2015 TAKE Solutions Masters.

With a tied-10th at the Hero Indian Open and a tied-20th finish at the Maybank Championship, having already secured his playing rights for the 2020 Asian Tour season should have him playing stress-free golf for the remainder of the year. 

If he can get a sometimes-un-cooperative putter going, it would not be surprising to see Chikkarangappa lift the trophy this Sunday afternoon.

Perhaps the most experienced of the top-ranked players in the field this week is Japan’s Masahiro Kawamura. He finished second at this year’s Hero Indian Open and is currently ranked fifth on the Asian Tour Order of Merit.  He is also 50th on European Tour’s Race to Dubai Rankings and 183rd in the Official World Golf Rankings (OWGR), impressive numbers.

Kawamura will be looking at this week as a way to secure a spot in the WGC-HSBC Champions field, and while he possibly needs some money, he definitely needs a start in a full-field event in order to qualify through the Asian Tour.

The top-four eligible players on the Order of Merit after next month’s Mercuries Taiwan Masters will qualify for WSG-HSBC Champions, and although Kawamura is fifth, he is currently the last player in since Yosuke Asaji will not be eligible through Asian Tour due to insufficient events played.

Gurgaon, India, September 11: Asian Tour Qualifying School graduate Kosuke Hamamoto of Thailand will be looking to translate his impressive form into a victory at the inaugural Classic Golf and Country Club International Championship, which starts on Thursday.  

Kosuke, who entered the spotlight when he came in runner-up at the Yeangder Tournament Players Championship in Chinese Taipei last week, is inspired to bid for a successful outing when he gets his campaign underway at the Classic Golf and Country Club.

Thanks for his commendable result last week, the 20-year-old Thai has virtually locked up his Asian Tour card for 2020 after playing only five events so far this season. He will be aiming to go one rung better in the inaugural Asian Tour event, which offers a prize purse of US$300,000.

India’s Chikkarangappa S. and Viraj Madappa are counting on home advantage to steer themselves to a victory this week. Their title ambitions will be put to test by Korea’s Taehee Lee and Masahiro Kawamura of Japan, placed fourth and fifth respectively on the Order of Merit.

The host venue, which comprises of an 18-Hole Signature Championship Course as well as a 9-Hole Signature Canyon Course, witnessed a slice of history in 2009 when Thailand’s Chapchai Nirat recorded the world’s lowest 72-hole score with a 32-under-par to win the third of his four Asian Tour titles then.

Prior to hosting its first Asian Tour event in 2009, the Classic Golf and Country Club was also home to the prestigious Indian Open in 2000 and 2001. Over the past few years, it has also played host to several tournaments on the Professional Golf Tour of India (PGTI).

Did you know?

  • Kosuke Hamamoto enjoyed a runner-up finish in Chinese Taipei last week to move to 27th place on the Order of Merit, where he has virtually retained his playing rights for the 2020 season.
