March 2|OneAsia has confirmed that Australian Scott Strange and China’s Liang Wen-Chong will be competing in the opening event of the year, the Luxehills Chengdu Open from 1 – 4 April, at the Luxehills Country Club & Resort.
Strange will be beginning the defense of his 2009 OneAsia Order of Merit title after a career year in which he won US$505,783, finishing just ahead of fellow countrymen Adam Scott and Robert Allenby and South Korean Bae Sang Moon.
Along with being crowned champion at the Volvo China Open, Strange also finished runner up to Robert Allenby at the 2009 Australian PGA Championship presented by Coca-Cola, had a 12th place finish at the Australian Open, and secured a further five European Tour top 10’s.
According to Strange, “The OneAsia Tour is a great concept for the region’s best players competing on a tour that develops golf in those partnering countries,”
“As the winner last year’s inaugural Order of Merit, I am really looking forward to 2010 and participating in the OneAsia events – hopefully last year’s form continues! I look forward to opening my 2010 account at the Luxehills Chengdu Open, and seeing the international players competing in Australia at the end of the year.”
