Wiesberger not thinking too far ahead

Race to Dubai leader Bernd Wiesberger admits he is not thinking about potentially becoming the European number one. The Austrian currently has a 387 point advantage in the standings for this season and can extend his lead further with Jon Rahm and Shane Lowry, his two nearest challengers, choosing to skip the Rolex Series event. Wiesberger has topped the rankings since winning the Italian Open last month and has had a chance to extend his advantage but has failed to do so in his last two starts. The 34-year-old finished 49th at the WGC-HSBC Champions a fortnight ago before finishing in exactly the same position at last week’s Turkish Airlines Open. Now, Wiesberger says he will put thoughts about becoming European number one on hold and is aiming to improve his performances at the Gary Player Country Club for the Nedbank tournament. “I’m not looking too much into that [Race to Dubai victory],” Wiesberger said. “There’s just so many points to be had over the last events and a lot of things can happen. “I’m just looking to be prepared as good as I can. The last two weeks were not the kind of golf I want to play and I got a little bit frustrated, I’m not going to lie. My game was not there. “Coming to a golf course that’s a bit more challenging and demanding and I think that’s more what I like to see. I’ve got a couple of days left to sharpen up the game and do the right things going into this week.”
