World number four Paul Casey and the man one place below him in the rankings, Lee Westwood, have been confirmed for next month's UBS Hong Kong Open, the organisers said Thursday.
The English pair will be joined in the $2.5-million showpiece, to be played at the Hong Kong Golf Club in Fanling November 12-15, by compatriot Ian Poulter and Northern Ireland star Darren Clarke, a statement said.
They join a line-up that includes Asia's first Major winner, Yang Yong Eun of Korea, defending champion Lin Wen Tang of Taiwan and the man he beat in a playoff last year, Northern Ireland youngster Rory McIlroy.
"I've been fortunate enough to win two European Tour events in China in the past so hopefully I can reproduce that sort of form for the galleries in Hong Kong," Casey was quoted as saying.
Westwood has enjoyed plenty of success in Asia, with victories in Japan, Malaysia and Macau, but will be making his first appearance in Hong Kong.
