Kuala Lumpur: Malaysian number one Gavin Kyle Green will be hoping to extend his lead in the Asian Tour Order of Merit when the Hong Kong Open tee-off at the Hong Kong Golf Club, Thursday.Gavin who is making his debut in the US$2 million (RM8.216 million) tournament is aware that he stands a good chance to tighten his grip at the top of the standings if he managed a solid performance in the four-day meet.

The 23-year-old, however, is aware of the stiff challenge he would be facing from two closest rivals – American David Lipsky and also Scott Hend of Australia, currently in second and third places in the standings.

"I'm looking to extend my Order of Merit lead but as you know, it's not easy. Scott Hend has done well here, Lipsky has also done well here too. I'm just going to play solid golf this week and hopefully finish high," Gavin was quoted as saying in the Asian Tour website www.asiantour.com.

Gavin, however, asserted that it would be an uphill task for him to adapt quickly with the conditions of the course but was confident that his experience after playing in a few tournaments, prior to this, would be key elements to conquer the challenging greens. – Bernama
