Harding ready for more fun at ISPS HANDA World Super 6 Perth

Harding ready for more fun at ISPS HANDA World Super 6 Perth

Perth -  South Africa’s Justin Harding is ready for another wild ride as he makes his debut at the ISPS HANDA World Super 6 Perth which starts on Thursday. 

 

As the highest ranked player in the field this week, the world number 65 admits he is feeling the pressure of living up to his ranking but is also hoping to soak in as much fun as he can at the Lake Karrinyup Country Club.

The South African, who just celebrated his 33rd birthday last Saturday, has been enjoying a splendid run since he burst onto the scene on the Asian Tour last July. 

Harding’s breakthrough in Indonesia was the catalyst that saw him going on to notch another win in Thailand a fortnight later before securing another four top-10s to end the year in third place on the money list.  He started 2019 with a tied-seventh finish in Dubai, a tied-14th place in Saudi Arabia, and a fourth-place finish in Melbourne last week.

Thailand’s Poom Saksansin is hoping to continue where he left off after closing his 2018 Asian Tour season in style by winning the Tour’s season-finale in Jakarta last December.

The Thai’s match play record is exemplary with his high profile scalps at the EurAsia Cup last year and is optimistic his recent swing change will set him on his way to the Sunday showdown.

Australia’s Lucas Herbert, who lost in the semi-finals to eventual winner Kiradech Aphibarnrat last year, is meanwhile looking to make amends, given his proud record at the Lake Karrinyup Country Club.
