The goal is to contend, earn a place in The Open, and keep pushing towards that first win. I believe it\u2019ll come \u2014 it\u2019s just a matter of time.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Surratt has also been a vocal advocate for greater participation from his Legion XIII teammates, highlighting both the competitive strength and global appeal of the Series.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, for sure that would be nice,\u201d he said. \u201cSome of the guys haven\u2019t played many yet, but I\u2019ve spoken to Tom [McKibbin] about it, it fits well into his schedule. His win in Hong Kong was huge, and I think he saw how strong these events are.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPersonally, I\u2019ve really enjoyed every event I\u2019ve played. I haven\u2019t been to one I wouldn\u2019t go back to, and I\u2019m looking forward to playing more, and hopefully bringing a few of the guys with me.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SINGAPORE &#8211; American rising star Caleb Surratt of Legion XIII arrives at this week\u2019s Singapore Open presented by&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":620951,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[443],"tags":[49,48,622,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-620950","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-golf","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/620950","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=620950"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/620950\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/620951"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=620950"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=620950"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=620950"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
