I am playing just after 3:00 local time with John Benda and John Chillas. Benda used to run the Asian Tour when I played back in 1982 and 1983, and he qualified on Monday to get in. He is a wealth of historical knowledge of the players that have played in Asia over the years and gone on to be great players in Europe and the US, and in some instances, gone on to be in the World Golf Hall of Fame. He hopes to write a history of that tour in the coming years – it really has been a great proving ground that little has been written about.
John Chillas is a Scotsman and a two-time winner of the Scottish PGA. He has also represented GB&I 5 times in the PGA Cup (PGA professionals version of the Ryder Cup). I have never met John, but he is obviously an accomplished player and I look forward to spending the next couple of days with him as well.
