Xu and Zhou lead first round of China golf final

Posted on by chinasportstoday

The last leg of China’s only national golf tour kicked off yesterday, with Xu Qin and Zhou Jun both shooting three-under-par 69s to lead the pack. The Omega Championship, being played at the Beijing Longxi Hotspring Golf Club, has a purse of 1 million RMB and will determine the final rank of golfers in the Omega Order of Merit.

Wu Ligui, Andy Zhou Xunshu and Hong Kong-based Nick Redfern are all tied for third with 70.

Xu played a bogey-free, three-birdie round to take the opening day lead. The 24-year-old from Tianjin believes in dressing well to play well, and says he models his look after British player Ian Poulter, who has his own clothing line.

“If I dress well, I feel good,” Xu said after Thursday’s round. “Recently I’ve been paying even more attention to Ian Poulter. I always check what he’s wearing, from his trousers to his shirts. My hair is also high like his.” Xu might be paying a little too much attention to his look, though; he was disqualified from the season-opener in Guangzhou because he missed his tee-time.

The two players contending for first place in the Order of Merit, a ranking of players by total prize money won, are current overall leader Liao Guiming and third-place player Li Chao (second-ranked Zhang Lianwei is not playing at Longxi). Both Liao and Li shot 72 on Thursday.
