PTO Tour Asian Open 2023: Pro Women start list with Lucy Charles-Barclay back after metatarsal break

STRENGTH. ENDURANCE. PERFORMANCE.

The PTO Tour Asian Open takes centre stage in Singapore this weekend, with a stellar field of Pro Women taking to the course on Saturday August 19.

Some of the world’s best middle-distance stars will lock horns with a massive prize purse on offer, and it is shaping up to be a classic confrontation.

The entire podium from May’s European Open in Ibiza are set to renew their rivalry, with Germany’s Anne Haug looking to claim another PTO Tour victory. She again faces off with Australia’s Ashleigh Gentle and Britain’s Lucy Charles-Barclay.

Charles-Barclay is fit to take her place on the start line after recovering from a fractured third metatarsal, which she revealed this week had happened during her second-place finish behind Laura Philipp at IRONMAN 70.3 Kraichgau in May.

One big name missing this weekend is newly-crowned US Open champion Taylor Knibb. She is taking part in the Olympic Games Paris Test Event on the back of outpointing Gentle in Milwaukee.

Despite Knibb’s absence there is still major US interest though with 2022 IRONMAN World Champion Chelsea Sodaro set to line up.
