Saturday, 24 October 2015 - Hong Kong Lucas Bjerregaard and Justin Rose are set for a final day showdown at the UBS Hong Kong Open after the leading duo could not be separated during an enthralling third round at Hong Kong Golf Club. Rose had held a one shot lead over the Dane coming into the weekend and the World Number Seven recorded two eagles and two birdies in a very impressive 64 that saw him move to 15 under. But Bjerregaard withstood everything his playing partner could throw at him and signed for a 63 with a bogey on the last the only blemish as he goes in search of a first European Tour title. Anirban Lahiri was at 11 under after a 65 with countryman Jeev Milkha Singh and recently crowned British Masters champion Matthew Fitzpatrick a further shot back, but the story of the day was the toe-to-toe battle between the leaders. Rose was handed an early test at the first as he hit his tee shot well right and had to chip out onto the fairway but he showed his class with an approach to 10 feet and made par. The Englishman then bombed a drive 356 yards down the third and when he found the green with his second shot, he rolled home the putt to get to 11 under. Bjerregarrd made back-to-back birdies at the third and fourth and, when he made another gain at the sixth thanks to a stunning approach to two feet, he joined Rose at the top of the leaderboard. Both leaders birdied the tenth to open up a two shot lead and that was when Bjerregaard came to life, holing from 12 feet on the 11th and then putting his tee shot to the par three 12th to 10 feet to open up a two shot lead. Rose does not have a US Open to his name for nothing, though, and he holed a 50 foot putt for eagle on the 13th to once again share the lead before Bjerregaard followed him in to make it four birdies in a row. Another birdie followed from Rose on the 15th but as was now to be expected, his playing partner responded instantly, picking up an eighth birdie of the day on the 16th. The Dane’s wayward tee shot on the 18th led to a dropped shot meaning the leading duo will be neck and neck when they go out in the final group again. "Lucas played unbelievable golf today," said Rose. "I actually didn't know much about his game – first of all he's a lovely guy and second, he can really play. “I hung with him and what impressed me today was the couple of par saves that I had to make, which I managed to do. "The first hole, I didn't play the hole particularly well but made a nice 15-foot putt for par there and then eagling the third kind of got me up and running. It was just a really fun day playing with Lucas and flip-flopping birdies and eagles and really stretching away from the field. It was a lot of fun.” Bjerregaard had a similar assessment of the day, commenting: "It was great. I really enjoyed it out there with Justin. He's a really good guy and we kept making birdies, especially around the turn. “I played some good golf today and it was nice to get off to a good start, as well, to take some of the pressure off. So I'm really looking forward to tomorrow. Obviously it's not fun to finish off any round with a bogey and especially not today. I hit a bad tee shot on 18 there, pretty much my only bad shot of the day. It wasn’t the way I wanted to finish, but still, I'm very happy with the round today." Ian Poulter’s bid to complete what would have been an incredible victory given his late entry to the tournament seems to be over after the Englishman dropped down the field with a three over par 73 to join his Ryder Cup team mate Graeme McDowell on four under. American Ryder Cup star Patrick Reed, meanwhile, posted a fine 65 to move to eight under going into the final round. More photos at our facebook Page...

Hong Kong, 23 October: Six of golf’s biggest global names gathered in central Hong Kong on Friday night to take the game to a new audience and take part in the UBS Hong Kong Open’s ‘Urban Golf Challenge’. Dustin Johnson, Justin Rose, Graeme McDowell, Patrick Reed, Victor Dubuisson and Thongchai Jaidee got together in Chater Gardens in Hong Kong’s Central district, where UBS had constructed a special nearest the pin competition for the star players to take aim and attempt to claim the ‘Urban Golf Challenge’ in front of an enthusiastic crowd amidst the backdrop of one the world’s great metropolis. Justin Rose took the brilliant form which has helped him to the top of the halfway leaderboard at Fanling from the golf course to the inner city to win the Urban Golf Challenge.

Thursday, 23 October 2015 - Hong Kong Justin Rose opened up a one shot lead at the halfway stage of the UBS Hong Kong Open, but admitted he had one eye on Ryder Cup team-mate Ian Poulter who is hot on his heels just two strokes back. Rose followed up his opening 65 with a 66 to get to nine under par at the Hong Kong Golf Club and establish a one shot advantage over Denmark’s Lucas Bjerregaard, with Poulter and Lu Wei-chih a further stroke behind. All eyes have been on Poulter this week after he made a late entry to the tournament following dropping out of the top 50 in the World Ranking. With his place in the field at the World Golf Championships-HSBC Champions under threat, Poulter made a late dash to the Far East in order to guarantee he played the 13 European Tour events necessary to secure his membership for 2016. And, with the 2010 UBS Hong Kong Open champion just two shots back heading into the weekend, Rose believes his friend and rival will provide a major threat to his position at the top of the leaderboard. “Poulter is a past champion is and he’s on the leaderboard,” he said. “He’s always good when he’s got something to prove, and he’s probably a dangerous guy now that he’s outside the top 50 in the world, and I know that he’ll be desperate to get back in it. He always plays well when he has motivation, so he’s obviously going to be tough to beat too.” Rose is the highest-ranked player in the field at World Number Seven and, after starting on the 11th, picked up birdies on the 14th, 18th, third and eighth holes to get to eight under par before dropping his first shot of the week on the difficult ninth. But the 2013 US Open Champion bounced straight back with a birdie on the tenth to get out in front on his own and was satisfied with his performance. “I’m very happy with that,” he said. “I felt like I struggled with the recovery overnight. I just felt like body was sore this morning, and today was definitely more of a struggle than yesterday. Yesterday I played such a clean round, I guess it was always going to be more of a struggle. I made a few more mistakes today but salvaged par very well quite a few times. “Finally the bogey that threatened a few times reared its head on number nine, but I guess I played 34 holes without making a mistake. It’s inevitable you’re going to make one mistake, but it’s out of the way and I don’t have to think about it now. I’ve got to try to play good golf over the weekend, make some birdies, and keep moving forward. “I again hit a lot of good putts today, and my putts that aren’t going in are threatening the cup, so that’s good. I feel good about my game and if I stay in my process things should work out well, but you can’t afford to get ahead of yourself.” Poulter also recorded a 66 as he made a flying start with birdies on the 12th, 14th, 17th and 18th. He dropped a shot on the first but then got it back on the third in spectacular fashion as he splashed out of the bunker and holed a 45-foot putt. Another birdie followed on the fourth, before he dropped a shot on the ninth to sit on seven under alongside Lu. “I don’t play to take part – obviously I play to win,” said Poulter. “Even coming in as late as I did, my mind was focused on shooting a good score yesterday, and today was really key. And I know this golf course, I’ve shot 60 around here before. “So even though I had not played a practice round, I’ve got good memories on this golf course. I’ve had a couple of top fives in the last five years around here, as well. So I know the place and I like it. Hopefully I can have a good weekend.” Lu had got back into a share of top spot after his first nine holes as he recorded four birdies and a bogey, but a double on the par five third saw him fall back. European Tour Rookie of the Year contenders Matthew Fitzpatrick and Anirban Lahiri both shot second round 67s to sit at six under alongside YE Yang, who added a 66 to his opening 68. Graeme McDowell moved to five under after a 69 which featured five birdies and four bogeys, while American Ryder Cup star Patrick Reed fired a 69 to sit at three under. There was no such luck for hios fellow countryman Dustin Johnson, however, as the World Number Eight missed the cut at one over after a 72. More photos at our facebook page...

18/10/2015 | HONG KONG Former world number one Jelena Jankovic of Serbia has set her sights firmly on winning her first Grand Slam title after she stormed back from a first set loss to out-power and out-muscle Germany’s Angelique Kerber in the final of the Prudential Hong Kong Tennis Open on Sunday. Fourth seed Jankovic slugged her way in a three-set thriller, coming back from the brink to defeat second-seeded Kerber 3-6, 7-6 (4), 6-1 in front of a capacity 3,500-strong crowd at Hong Kong’s Victoria Park centre court. The victory was Jankovic’s second WTA title this year – and 15th in her career - following her triumph in the opening leg of the Asian swing in Guangzhou last month. Jankovic, who is now ranked 24th, reigned briefly at the top of the WTA rankings in 2008. “This victory will do my confidence a world of good. Beating Angelique and my win over Venus (Williams) in the semi-finals proves I can still play at the top level and if I work hard, maybe I can win a Grand Slam next year,” said the 30-year-old Jankovic. A last-minute wild card entry, Jankovic held her nerve to win the second set on a tie-break and force a deciding set which she easily won breaking a dis-spirited Gerber twice. “It was tough. It is never easy playing Angelique for every ball is being returned. She defeated me in three sets in Wuhan a few weeks ago and I thought this would go the same way. But I tried to stay focused and positive and it worked,” Jankovic said. World number nine Kerber’s hopes of winning her fifth title this season and booking a place in the WTA Finals fell apart as her serve deserted her midway through the match. “It was tough. I have played her many times and we both know each other’s game very well. She deserved to win today,” said a disappointed Kerber. Four double faults at crucial stages in the second set saw the pressure pile on the left-handed Kerber. Both players traded service breaks twice to push the second set to a tiebreak. Jankovic, who had also conquered Venus Williams in the semi-final with her attritional baseline game, won the tiebreak 7-4 to level the score at one set apiece and with the momentum firmly behind her. Jankovic continued to rely on her powerful double-handed backhand to out-slug Kerber whose confidence had hit rock-bottom by now. An early break in the deciding set allowed Jankovic to take a 3-0 lead. Despite a medical timeout at this stage, Kerber couldn’t re-discover the spark as she tamely folded dropping her serve again in the sixth game. “If I continue to work hard and stay injury free and healthy, I’m confident I can have a good season next year. My goals will be the majors. I’m not thinking about my rankings for if I have the confidence and self-belief, the results will come,” said Jankovic whose next tournament will be in Luxemburg starting Monday. The 27-year-old Kerber will now have to rely on a strong showing at the final WTA tournament in Moscow, starting Monday (Oct 19), to see if she will remain among the top eight on the Road to Singapore race. Five players have now confirmed their places in the WTA Finals – Simona Halep, Maria Sharapova, Garbine Muguraza, Petra Kitova and Agnieszka Radawanska. “I have entered to play in Moscow but I will have to see how I shape up,” said Kerber who revealed she has been struggling with a back injury. “I don’t want to use that as an excuse for my performance today. Jelena deserved to win,” Kerber said. In the doubles final, fourth seeds Alize Cornet of France and Yaroslava Shvedova of Kazakhstan defeated top seeds Lara Arruabarrena of Spain and Andreja Klepac of Slovakia 7-5, 6-4.

[2015年10月17日，香港]: 法興銀行華利欖球會(華利)、彭博香港蘇格蘭人欖球隊和三軍會猛虎欖球會(猛虎)一同在香港欖球總會(欖總) 超級聯賽第三週賽事報捷。 週六最令人意外的賽果是華利在主場以25-0技術性撃倒陣容不整的Leighton Asia 香港木球會(木球會 ) ，觀乎兩軍近年實力相若，這賽果也是近季最懸殊的差距。 華利雖然勝出但卻見他們未能打出原本風格，下半場更有保捷頓(Tom Broughton) 、芬尼(Toby Fenn and)和高比斯( Khrist Kopetzky)先後被罰黃牌。 木球會上半場因被對手在達陣線前圍攻，情急下多次嘗試以犯規保持不失，終被判罰犯罰達陣，夏文(Reece Hamon)命中附加罰球之後再入兩個罰球，助球隊領先13-0返回更衣室。 下半場木球會隊長羅拔斯(Ben Roberts) 傷出令他們雪上加霜，可是此時對手丟掉太多控球權，讓木球會有喘息空間。 木球會的七隊港腳因要準備「中央海岸七人賽」而避戰，加上另一港腳傷兵林銘寧(Matthew Lamming) 令他們實力被大幅削弱。 華利在下半場對半力迎戰的木球會並未取得太多好處，直至他們陸續有兩人被暫罰離場才如夢初醒。 人數佔優的木球會卻未能撕破對方防線，反被敵方的後備球員高比斯兩度反擊達陣得手。 華利主帥艾積克(Jack Isaac )說: 「這場比賽大家也錯漏百出，對木球會時至少取得25分傻勢才是保險，我們取得幾個達陣和多次中路突破成功，最終獲勝當然高興。」「我們下決心將防守變得固若金湯，今仗表現很好但控制球賽仍欠理想，我一度擔心下半場形勢逆轉，我們必須學懂如何保持領先優勢和紀律性，這麼多黃牌令人失望。」 前港腳麥克雷(Ally Maclay)從英國回來加盟華利並於下半場上陣。 木球會教頭文路(Deacon ManuO說: 「上半場我們錯失多次良機和為自己的不穩定付出代價，對方防守出色但我們攻力欠銳利也是未能得分的原因。」 香港蘇格蘭人欖球隊也大勝香港足球會(港會) 46-19，雙隊長之一的保確迪(Kane Boucaut) 和古倫(Ben Cullen)同達陣梅開二度。 巫亞胡(Mike Moeahu) 、後備力量賓泰拿(Ben Tyler)和祈拿域(Robert Cleary)各有進帳，協助球隊力保「Broony 盃」在手，張浩甯的4個附加罰球和1 個罰球錦上添花。 今仗再次證明香港蘇格蘭人欖球隊火力強大，他們之前一週在對木球會時下半場15分鐘內達陣3次。 猛虎以24-16戰勝Sabre 九龍欖球會24-16取得今季第二勝， 前者藉史東(Casey Stone)的達陣和派斯 (Matthew Price)的附加罰球和罰球在上半場領先10-6。 九龍欖球會(九龍)一度攻入兩球達陣收復失地，但對方郭柏雅的達陣和受惠一次犯罰達陣再擴大比分，派斯射入兩個附加罰球鎖定勝局。 猛虎教頭史卓(Craig Stewart)說: 「勝出當然是好但我對表現仍有微言。我們沒有好好控制戰局和作出太多差勁決定，但對手的拚勁也值得一讚。」 九龍教練施基布克(James Scaysbrook) 說: 「我們仍有太多失誤和甚少控球。」 華利暫以12分居榜首，香港蘇格蘭人欖球隊以10分排第2(兩勝一負) ，第2位的猛虎有8分，其後依次為港會(5分)、木球會(4分)和未嘗一勝的九龍。 資料和相片來自 Elite Step Asia / HKRFU

【2015年10月15日，香港】Red Bull Edge Rider Dominik Hernler在剛結束的周末，一連三天與50多位本地尾波滑水精英，包括：港隊成員Ruby Lee、 Vincent Law、Jay Ng、梁嘉豪，分享滑水樂趣，並給予即席指導，令他們的技術突飛猛進。 來自奧地利Dominik Hernler 憑著與生俱來的滑水天賦，十歲開始便在花式滑水方面漸露風茫，贏得不少獎項。奧地利人大多熱愛在家鄉的湖邊滑水，而Dominik不但喜歡在奧地利練習， 他亦很愛到Orlando的水中滑水翻騰。在那裏的訓練更令他的滑技術在短時間內突飛猛進。在十九歲前，Dominik已經連續兩年在Course State Championship中贏得第二名。 Dominik上周抵港後即馬不停蹄，周五起一連三天出席在西貢榕樹澳魚排為本地滑水發燒友以及一眾港隊成員舉辦的工作坊。他除了施展渾身解素，表演 Rolling、Spinning、Grabbing等技術，高難度花式動作包括：Heel side 540、 Indy Tenterum to blind、Scarecow、Heel side backside 360等等，亦為本地運動員作出個別指導。香港尾波滑水運動員Ruby Lee表示：「在Dominik的指導下，原本我一直未能做的Toe side backroll動作，在短短2個小時的工作坊便成功做到。他真是一位天才，得到他的指導，讓我獲益不淺，我的技術亦在短時間內提高了不少。」 Dominik表示：「在漁排進行滑水感覺很特別，香港運動員對於滑水的熱情亦讓我印象深刻，我很享受今次香港的行程。」 相片和資料來自 Red Bull HK

[2015年10月12日，香港]: 香港男子隊終於在斯里蘭卡站躋身今屆「亞洲七人欖球系列賽」銀盃決賽，雖然以22-29向日本稱臣，衝擊錦標未竟全功，但仍足以一手將港隊從積分榜第5位拉高至第2名。 這場決賽可說是11月7-8日舉行的2016年巴西里約熱內盧奧運會(奧運)之「亞洲區外圍賽」熱身。屆時只有一支男子隊可脫穎而出，直接獲得奧運資格，至於女子組戰罷香港站後，還要計算之後的東京站成績才有定案。 從斯里蘭卡站可見日本和香港實力傲視同儕，韓國和斯里蘭卡也具一定戰鬥力，中國也頗具威脅，但穩定性是他們的弱項。香港在首站大熱倒灶只以第5名完成，其後兩站分別在泰國和斯里蘭卡奪銅和銀，總算挽回一些面子。 港隊狀態愈見銳利和眼前只有成為奧運50年史上首次香港團體運動代表踏足奧運的唯一目標。 香港教頭備加力(Gareth Baber)說：「我蠻滿意球隊今站和這系列賽的整體表現。」「雖然在中國站失之交臂，我們之後做到按步就班，打好每場比賽。」「我們視這賽事為練兵和備戰11月『亞洲區外圍賽』的良機，這張成績表尚令人欣慰。」 他續說：「我們與日本、韓國、斯里蘭卡和中國之間的競爭激烈，總結今屆賽事獲益良多。我們兩戰日本並只以兩記達陣之差落敗，猶幸我們還有『中央海岸七人賽』作最後催谷。」 由於韓國不敵斯里蘭卡，香港總名次由第5跳升至第2，港隊也藉此獲得下季「𣿬豐世界七人欖球系列賽」外圍賽資格。 備加力在這系列賽大力栽培20歲以下青年軍鄧家暉(Calvin Hunter)，備加力希望透過10月 24-25日的「中央海岸七人賽」敲定最終名單。同時也希望一眾十字兵包括T.麥堅(Tom McQueen)、韋馬克(Mark Wright)、曾慶鴻和郭嘉進能重拾比賽狀態。 另一困擾備加力多年的傷兵是基夫(Keith Robertson)，今次基夫在斯里蘭卡站重出光湖，仍顯示出昔日風采，多次單人匹馬撕破敵方防線，他夥拍賀迪(Jamie Hood)組成的中場線產生不俗效果。 備氏道：「基夫表現不錯，我們也樂見他再度披甲，他是一名與眾不同的球員，常能在場上製造驚喜，每當球隊需要達陣時，他往往是及時雨，而且他很冷靜和能慫恿面對壓力。」 但港隊仍需一班沙場老將與日本周旋，因為對方的力量和速度俱在香港之上。 他續說：「我倆實力伯仲之間，我們的落敗在於太多壓力下個人犯錯，但大家奮戰最後一刻是值得嘉許。」 港隊縱然由A.麥堅(Alex McQueen)先拔頭籌，但日本旋即還以顏色和控制上半場形勢，A.麥堅半場前再入一球，助香港取得17-12的喘氣空間。下半場美爾斯(Chris Maize)和姚錦成各有達陣，但堅韌的日本隊並沒有放棄並最終改寫戰果。 香港女子隊同樣成為日本手下敗將，在四強被氣走，最終在季軍戰以21-15力克泰國取回一些安慰，港隊連同青島站的成績總計因得失分差屈居中國之後以第3名完成今屆系列賽。 日本也首奪成為系列賽總冠軍，中國得第3及哈薩克得第4，顯示亞洲女子欖球實力版圖出現轉變。 香港的潘柏茵在季軍戰雖然達陣大三元可惜腳風欠順，鄭芷婷和岑惠心也攻入達陣，一雪小組賽5-7不敵對手的前恥，潘柏茵以41分(5達陣及8個附加罰球)成為「得分后」。日本在銀盃決賽輕勝中國33-12。 備加力最後說：「我們很滿意女子隊的成績，她們經多年努力終初嘗甜頭。雖然在斯里蘭卡站有些結果未如理想，但現在獲得總成績第3名也很好，令大家對外圍賽更有信心。」 香港男子隊名單 : 禾獲特 (隊長)、曉臣、賀迪、華路雲、姚錦成、A.麥堅、李卡度、美爾斯、鄧家暉、高凡戴爾、基夫*、卡普* 香港女子隊名單 : 鄭家慈[隊長]、高香慧(Natasha OLSON-THORNE) [副隊長]、藍嘉敏、鄭芷婷、潘柏茵、岑惠心、謝家美、顧思靈、鄺秀欣、加艾恩* 、李紫婷*、華莉絲* *首次參加「亞洲七人欖球系列賽2015」 資料和相片來自 Elite Step Asia / HKRFU
