New South Wales golfers Kevin Yuan and Travis Smyth recorded top tens at the International Series India event at the DLF Golf Club in Gurgaon near New Delhi. Yuan finishing in a tie for 8th, and Smyth sharing 10th in the US$2 million event, the first of several such events in which both Asian Tour regulars and LIV golfers compete.
On a golf course and in conditions where only four golfers finished 72 holes under par, Yuan finished at 1 over and Smyth at 2 over.
Yuan has yet to win on any recognised tour, but he is building consistency in his Asian Tour appearances, including his fourth-place finish at the recent Philippine Open. This was his fourth top-ten finish in International Series events.
Smyth continues to build a good record on the Asian Tour having finished inside the top ten on their Order of Merit in each of the last three years. His only win in Asia came three years ago but he is regularly putting himself in contention and that second victory may well come sooner rather than later.
The tournament was won by American Ollie Schniederjans who held off a brilliant final round burst by Bryson DeChambeau, Schniederjans winning by three.
