Sanctioning[edit]

It doesn't appear that the 1996 event was sanctioned by the PGA Tour of Australasia - it is not listed in the 2006 media guide (just 1994 and 1995). Tewapack (talk) 22:46, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It appears here: http://www.owgr.com/events?pageNo=1&pageSize=400&tour=ANZ&year=1996 as an Australasian tour event. https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/122941748/ (5 June 1996) says "Ballesteros has agreed to play the Alfred Dunhill Masters at Royal Hong Kong Golf Club from 31 October to 3 November. The $625,000 tournament will be jointly sanctioned with the Asian Omega Tour for the first time." Confusingly https://www.where2golf.com/tournament.aspx?t=to&v=48568 has all three as co-sanctioned, which must be wrong. A look at the field http://www.owgr.com/en/Events/EventResult.aspx?eventid=1751 shows a large number of Australians. Be nice to find something definitive. Nigej (talk) 07:48, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Found this on Newsbank: Devenport out on his own - The Independent - November 1, 1996 - Paul Devenport, of New Zealand, hit an eight-under-par 63 to eclipse big names such as Colin Montgomerie and Ernie Els as he claimed the first- round lead in the Alfred Dunhill Masters in Hong Kong yesterday. Devenport, 30, shot eight birdies to lead by one shot from South Korea's Kang Wook-Soon in the event co-sanctioned by the Australasian and Asian PGA Tours. Devenport splits his tournament schedule between Australia and Canada but has yet to win an event, while Kang has triumphed twice this year to lead the Asian Order of Merit standings. Montgomerie, the Scot who took the European Tour title for the fourth consecutive year in Valderrama last week, recovered from an opening double-bogey for a two-under-par 69 while Els, the triple World Matchplay champion, shot 71. "I did not make any mistakes today - it was a good solid round and I'm delighted with it," said Devenport, whose 63 was one off the course record held by Nick Faldo. Montgomerie blamed jet-lag and the stifling heat for his stuttering round while Els, who arrived yesterday after his sixth in the rain-delayed US Tour Championship, said that he failed to find his rhythm. "I just could not get going," Els said. (my bolding) Nigej (talk) 08:14, 3 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
