Anton Haig set to defend title at 2008 Johnnie Walker Classic

Posted on February 22, 2008 by godadnet

The 2008 Johnnie Walker Classic will tee off on Monday, with South African Anton Haig looking to defend the title he won in 2007. After the 2007 tournament which saw Haig beat highly ranked compatriots Ernie Else and Retief Goosen, the young South African should be well placed to take a second win on a field somewhat thinner in talent.

After hitting a course record equaling round of 64 on the final day of the 2007 Johnnie Walker Classic, Anton Haig capped his win with his best shot of the tournament on the 18th hole. Following a brilliant round of golf, fellow South African Ernie Else commented that Anton Haig was a talent to watch.

Although Ernie Else and Retief Goosen will be absent from the 2008 Johnnie Walker Classic, Anton Haig will still find himself up against some experienced golfers including Vijay Singh, Adam Scott and Colin Montgomerie. Major opposition is also likely to come in the form of the elements.

2008 marks the first time that the Johnnie Walker Classic is being played on the Indian subcontinent, and Anton Haig may struggle to keep focus in the sweltering heat and humidity of Delhi. The tough conditions are almost certain to favour the small contingent of local players.
