In Abu Dhabi
Wiesberger beckons top place and “Race to Dubai”
Professional golfer Bernd Wiesberger is on course for a top place in the play-off tournament of the DP World Tour in Abu Dhabi. The Burgenland native is in 14th place at the halfway stage of the competition for the 70 best tour players, which has prize money of 9 million dollars.
Kronen Zeitung als bevorzugte Google-Quelle hinzufügen After an opening round of 68, the 39-year-old played a 66 on Friday and is on ten under par (134 strokes). Paul Waring took the lead with 125 strokes, the Englishman set a course record with a 61.
Wiesberger recorded an eagle and five birdies with just one bogey on Friday. This means he is now tied with Northern Irish golf star Rory McIlroy, who is also 14th in Abu Dhabi.
If Wiesberger achieves a top ranking on the Yas Links golf course, he would still make it into the top 50 on the tour and thus reach the final in Dubai next week. The ÖGV ace is currently in 52nd place in the "Race to Dubai" ranking.
