Simon Griffiths

He picked up golf at the age of seven at the famed Wentworth Golf Club in London and credits his father for introducing him to the sport because he was a member at the Club. Says his most memorable golf experiences are finishing 2nd in the 2008 Volvo China Open and playing in the 1993 Open as an Amateur.
In February of 2014, won the Asian Tour Q-School Stage I by a staggering 14 shots as he shot an impressive 16-under par 272. Placed 21st at the SAIL-SBI Open earlier this year and finished in 15th at the Solaire Open where he had scores of 72-69-71-74. Is currently in 70th position on the Asian Order of Merit but has only played in three tournaments. Has two wins on the UK Mini-Tour this year as well.
Simon finished 66th on the Asian Order of Merit in 2010 but fought his way to a T-25th outing at the Qualifying School in Thailand in January of 2011 to regain his playing rights. He started the year with four straight cuts and his best result of the year came in tied eighth place at the Yeangder Tournament Players Championship in Chinese Taipei. In 2012, Simon?s best result was a tied-11th finish at the King?s Cup. The Englishman produced his best performance on Tour when he finished T-2nd at the Volvo China Open in 2008 with a 1-under par 287. The result was enough to help him seal his Tour card for 2009 as he ended the year in 21st place on the rankings. Simon started 2009 strongly with a tied 11th place at the Asian Tour International in Thailand. One other top-10 at the Indonesia Open and four top-30s helped secure his 2010 Tour card with a 46th place finish on the Order of Merit. Simon made his debut on the Asian Tour in 2006 and enjoyed a flying start with a T-5th at the Aamby Valley Asian Masters in India. He went on to register a tied for 10th finish in the Brunei Open. In 2007, he safely kept his card by finishing 44th on the money list, thanks to a runner-up finish at the Hana Bank Vietnam Masters.
