Rising Indonesian mens golf star Rory Hie is set to embark on his European trip with a debut in the Challenge Tour
From golfblogger.co.uk:
Rising Indonesian golf star Rory Hie is set to embark on his European trip with a debut in the Challenge Tour at next month’s 150,000 Euro Piemonte Open in Turin, Italy.
The Challenge Tour features 27 tournaments, and ends in October, but Rory is looking to play in only three tournaments, with more of his playing time dedicated to the Asian Tour.
Rory, who was accompanied by his parents during a recent interview at the Ancora Golf Academy in Serpong, Banten, was still undecided on which other tournaments he would be aiming for.
Rory, who turned pro last October after standing out as one of the top 10 amateurs in the world, earned the right to play in the Challenge Tour after he finished in the top 70 at last year’s European Tour Qualifying School in Jerez and Catalunya, Spain.
The 20-year-old has modest expectations about his Challenge debut, although he harbors hopes about winning a tournament in order to attain exemption for another two years.
Rory has just returned home from his residence in the United States, where he honed his golfing skills while studying at a college in California.
Rory was sixth on the R&A world amateur golf rankings last August, which earned him a place in the Asian Tour Qualifying School without having to play in the early stages.
Rory is now looking to Europe before returning to the Asian Tour, where he plans to play in 25 tournaments this year, with the Maekyung Open in Seoul his next stop.
