Hillier now follows the Challenge Tour to the Czech Republic next week while Geary will play the Porsche European Open alongside Ryan Fox in Hamburg Germany. The European Open will now start on Saturday rather than Thursday due to the latest Covid-19 restrictions in Germany placed on players coming in from the UK.
