GOLF.GARA.Tabuena punta alla gloria del LIV Golf dopo aver mancato di poco la classifica

Filipino golf hero Miguel Tabuena will take his campaign for a place on the LIV Golf League to its final battleground this week, after narrowly missing out on The International Series Rankings race last year.

By finishing third on the Rankings – only the top two made it through – he earned direct exemption into Round 2 of LIV Golf Promotions. The high-pressure event tees off tomorrow at Black Diamond Ranch Golf & Country Club in Florida – where two more LIV Golf League places are on the line.

It is Tabuena’s final route into golf’s elite stage, and one he is approaching with purpose.

“I’m coming into Promotions with a really strong mindset,” Tabuena said. “Missing out in the Rankings race hurt, but it also motivated me. I know what’s at stake, and I know I can compete with anyone in that field. It’s about staying patient, staying focused, and trusting the game that got me here.”

That motivation comes directly from the intensity of the series finale at the PIF Saudi International powered by SoftBank Investment Advisers, where the 31-year-old came agonisingly close to breaking into the top two. If he had finished two shots better he would have dislodged Japan’s Yosuke Asaji from second place.

GOLF. GARE. Red-hot Lee continua a gestire lo spettacolo alla LIV Golf Promotions

Richard T. Lee continued his commanding performance at LIV Golf Promotions after Round 3, firing a flawless six-under-par 64 to surge two shots clear at the top of the leaderboard heading into the final round at Black Diamond Ranch.

Lee’s third straight strong performance, following opening rounds of 64 and 66, marked the lowest score of the day and further underlined his red-hot form. The Canadian now sits firmly in pole position to secure one of the coveted LIV Golf cards, as International Series and Asian Tour players dominated the upper reaches of the leaderboard.

“Definitely the key is to not make mistakes out there and try to make as many birdies as you can,” Lee said. “I didn’t have any eagles like yesterday, but I’ll take six birdies and no bogeys.”

GOLF. GARE. ASIA TOUR: Wang dà il via alla International Series presso la LIV Golf Promotions

Jeunghun Wang ha realizzato un 65 sotto il par, portandosi in testa alla classifica del secondo round della LIV Golf Promotions in Florida, superando Richard T. Lee, Bjorn Hellgren e Sadom Kaewkanjana per un solo colpo. I quattro giocatori guideranno un nutrito contingente di stelle dell’Asian Tour e dell’International Series nel weekend, con punteggi riportati in parità per l’inizio del terzo round, mentre la corsa ad alto rischio per le tre ambite tessere della LIV Golf League si intensifica.

L’entusiasmo del coreano è cresciuto costantemente negli ultimi mesi. Prima di arrivare in Florida, Wang ha impressionato con un secondo posto al Moutai Singapore Open, dove ha mancato di poco la qualificazione ai playoff contro Yosuke Asaji, ora lui stesso giocatore di golf LIV.
