Back In China On Tour part 2!
Okay, so now I am done with the first tournament here in Chengdu, China. Most of the golf over the the 4 days was very good. There were some really good scores out there with the winner, Taiwanese player, Tsai Chi-huang, coming in at 18 under par to take home the RMB$150,000 (approx US$ 18,750) winners check and trophy. Many of the new courses in greater China can rival any championship course in the west. Designed by the likes of Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo and Greg Norman these layouts feature slick slopping greens, bunker lined fairways and water everywhere you look. I was impressed with the level of play and equally impressed with the sportsmanship exhibited in the fairways and on the greens. Even the fans were very well behaved....well maybe with the exception of a few of the kids. That said, it's good to get them on the course and expose them to the game at an early age. Who knows there could be the next Tiger Woods out there. Judging by the way amature players such as China National Team memebers, Zhang Xinjun, who was the 2nd and 3rd round leader and 16 year old Benny Ye Jianfeng played with skill and heart, they wont be far behind. It won't be long before you'll see them "In The Show" on the PGA tour. Thanks for stopping by!
