Hamza Akbar - Discretionary 2 year tour card extension

Postby SteveJJ

Hamza Akbar has been given an extra 2 years on tour (starting on 0 points) due to recognition of his visa problems.

He takes the place of an Americas nomination (as there hasn't been an All Americas competition and so therefore no amateur is disadvantaged.

I agree.....I'd rather have wildcards given to players from developmental areas (as long as there is someone of ok standard like Igor) rather than to White/Doherty/Wattana etc.

I don't know if there was meant to be an All Americas championship this year whereby the winner would have gained entry to the tour or whether its not something they have every year due to interest/costs/organisation.
