Just behind the American Bubba Watson, 13th with 274 (-14) in one of his rare outings outside of LIV Golf, and only in 44th place with 282 (-6) the Indian Gaganjeet Bhullar, who was defending the title.
Asian, results
Stefano Mazzoli was ranked 63rd with 286 (67 72 72 75, -2), who although he had a drop after the first round finished in seventh place, still gained a position in the money list, from 31st to 30th, precious for the goal of confirming the ‘card for the 2025 circuit.
Richard Taehoon Lee, 33 years old from Toronto, in the final round was careful not to take risks from the height of a six-shot advantage gained after 54 holes. With a 70 (-2, four birdies and a double bogey) he signed the third title on the Asian Tour for a palmarès that also includes two successes on the Korean Tour (net of one in combination between the two circuits). For the feat he received a check for 360,000 dollars on a prize pool of two million dollars and rose to second place in the ranking.
The rules of golf are relatively complicated compared to other sports because they are played outdoors, close to nature and animals. Respecting the rules is a basic element in the game of golf, which, almost always based on self-control and the free conscience of the players, often sees distorted results, sometimes consciously, but often unconsciously or through carelessness, due to the non-observance by many players of the rules of the game. In addition to the rules, golf adheres to a code of conduct, known as etiquette, which generally means playing the game with due respect for the golf course and other players. Etiquette is an essential component of this sport.
