A record-setting field of 144 golfers competed for 1.2 million RMB at the Sofitel Zhongshan IGC Open, an event on the Omega China Tour, over the weekend. Australian Kurt Barnes became the first Australian winner on the tour, finishing with a four-under 284. Among the field, the biggest for an Omega China Tour event,
were 10 Australians, part of the tour's efforts to become more international. For more of a drive-by-drive account of the event, as well as links to interviews and more, check out
