Well I hate to say that I called it, but Oliver Wilson blew another chance to break his European Tour duck in Hong Kong after a shaky finish saw him end up out of the frame which opened the door for Taiwan’s Lin Wen-tang to triumph.
Three bogeys in Wilson’s last four holes dashed his hopes but his cheque for a tie for sixth place sees him maintain second spot behind Sergio Garcia in the Race To Dubai.
In a dramatic finale in Hong Kong, Rory Mcllroy and Francesco Molinari shared second place after losing a play-off with Lin Wen-tang.
Bernhard Langer failed in his bid to become the oldest winner on the European Tour. After shooting 63 on Saturday, the 51-year-old German shot 69 to finish tied for sixth with Wilson and three others.
Credit must go to Lin Wen-tang who played near faultless golf in a three-under final round of 67, but my main concern is still with Oliver Wilson. I think that he is a great player and a fantastic competitor but when the hell is he going to win something!

I wanted McIlroy to win, but i’m sure he’ll get another chance..
