After a gruelling season of Ryder Cup glory and breaking into the world top ten, England's Tommy Fleetwood is already looking ahead to next year, seeking rejuvenation in the 60th Hong Kong Open.
The world number nine will tee off at Fanling on Thursday alongside Masters champion Patrick Reed and Ryder Cup hero Sergio Garcia, with Australia's Wade Ormsby stepping up for his first-ever title defence.
Fleetwood previously admitted the gruelling 2018 season -- which saw a successful defence of his Abu Dhabi title and the forging of a Ryder Cup-winning partnership with Italy's Francesco Molinari -- had left him feeling"jaded".
But Fanling is a"great atmosphere... for a new start," the affable Merseysider told reporters in Hong Kong. The $2 million-purse tournament kicks off the European Tour's 2019 Race to Dubai.
"If you play well here, you're on a head start for the year. It sets your season up perfectly," he said."Basically (for) this course, the best ball striker for the week is going to be up there with a chance of winning, for sure. And that's how it's supposed to be," he told AFP.
