Harrison Crowe chasing important status in Asia – image Golf NSW

The Asian Tour stages the Final Stage of qualifying for its 2024 schedule at the Springfield Royal Country Club and Lake View Resort and Golf Club in Hua Him Thailand, the field facing 90 holes before the leading 35 players earn their way onto the increasingly lucrative tour.

After 36 holes, the field will be reduced to the top 140 from the original 200 or so, following which the leading 70 players after 72 holes will advance to the final 18.

Springfield Royal and Lake View will be used for the first four days while Springfield Royal will stage the all-important final round.

Such is the increasing popularity of the Asian Tour that a field of over 200 have made it to the Final Stage as they chase the right to play the 23 event schedule beginning in Saudi Arabia in early February.

Australian and New Zealand golfers are well represented in the field with 18 Australians and four New Zealanders about to tee it up.

Former NSW Open and Asia Pacific Amateur Champion, Harrison Crowe, former New Zealand Open winner Jordan Zunic and the 2016 Hong Kong Open champion, Sam Brazel, are amongst the leading Australians, while Nick Voke and Denzel Ieremia feature amongst the more highly rated New Zealanders.
