Australian golfer Wade Ormsby delivered a remarkable performance at the Riyadh Golf Club’s Saudi Open. Ormsby’s final round of 64 secured him a second-place finish, marking his best performance since his victory at the International Series Thailand in March of the previous year.
John Catlin, an American golfer, dominated the event and achieved a wire-to-wire victory, making him the first player in five years to achieve back-to-back wins on the Asian Tour. Catlin’s final round score of five-under-par 66 led to an outstanding 24-under finish, resulting in a seven-shot lead over Ormsby.
Following the tournament, Ormsby expressed his excitement at being among the leaders once again. He mentioned that despite Catlin’s substantial lead, he was determined to deliver his best performance on the course. Although Ormsby encountered a minor setback during the fifth hole, he commended Catlin for swiftly closing off any potential opportunities for a comeback.
Ormsby also shared his satisfaction with his performance, particularly acknowledging the positive start to his collaboration with his new caddie, Mike, after working with his previous caddie for a decade. He expressed enthusiasm for the upcoming tournament at LIV Adelaide, which holds personal significance to him as a golfer hailing from the area.
The Asian Tour is currently enjoying a week-long break before the upcoming GS Caltex Maekyung Open in Korea, scheduled to take place from May 2-5.
In conclusion, Ormsby’s remarkable performance and positive outlook indicate an exciting continuation for his journey on the Asian Tour. His dedication and skill on the golf course are undoubtedly commendable, and fans are eagerly anticipating his upcoming matches.
