Volvo China Open

Scott Strange won the China Volvo Open (a European Tour event) at Beijing CBD International Golf Course, with a final-round score of 68. Liang Wenchong was the top Chinese player, shooting one over par and finishing in a five-way tie for 25th place (results from Sky Sports). Colin Montogomerie, next year's captain for Europe's Ryder Cup team, got frustrated and made a bit of a scene over some etiquette issues.

F1 Chinese Grand Prix

Red Bull won the Formula One Chinese Grand Prix in Shanghai, but only 70 percent of tickets were sold for China's only Formula One race. F1 president and CEO Bernie Ecclestone said that selling sponsorships has been difficult, but he will continue to bring the event to China. F1's deal with the Shanghai government ends in 2010.
