Ridge rides crest of a wave as Horizon stars shine

SUPER agent Conor Ridge experienced an emotional Sunday at the UBS Hong Kong Open.

The day ended with Ridge’s new Horizon Sports Management signing Rory McIlroy capturing his fifth professional title after holing an 18-hole bunker shot.

But hours earlier, Ridge was enduring an anxious time striving to establish if Gareth Maybin had done enough in recording a final round 69 to retain his Tour card for 2012.
