Australian Daniel Nisbet ready to defend his title at ‘breathtaking’ Clearwater Bay Open
The field for next week’s event features six PGA Tour China winners and players of 14 different nationalities
Daniel Nisbet is looking forward to returning to the “most beautiful course” he’s played as he attempts to defend his title at next week’s Clearwater Bay Open.
The Australian is hoping to rekindle his love affair with the Clearwater Bay Golf & Country Club, which he described as breathtaking on winning the biggest title of his career last November.
Nisbet was five strokes behind third-round leader Alex Kang before catching the American with a Sunday round of 64 and going on to win the play-off with an eagle on the first extra hole.
“It was pretty overwhelming, especially because of the finish. I played better each day and really well on the Sunday to make the play-off,” said Nisbet, whose only previous title was at a PGA Tour of Australasia event in Papua New Guinea in 2015.
“I had a nice bounce off the cart path in the play-off, so that helped, but I did well to hole the putt and was pretty fired up.
“As I said then, Clearwater Bay is the most beautiful course I’ve played and it’s impossible not to enjoy playing there.
