Career Highlights

2016 Season

Finished 15th on the Order of Merit. Didn't play in the season's final three tournaments after breaking through and winning the Clearwater Bay Open in Hong Kong. Had one additional top-10 to go with his victory and ¥280,188 in winnings.

  • Clearwater Bay Open: Broke through in a big way in Hong Kong in early November. Entered the final round of the inaugural Clearwater Bay Open five shots behind 54-hole leader Alex Kang. Started slowly, even-par through his first four holes Sunday before catching fire and birdieing four of his next five. Drew even with Kang at No. 13 when he birdied and Kang bogeyed. The two matched each other hole for hole for the final five holes, resulting in a sudden-death playoff. On the first extra hole, No. 18 at Clearwater Bay G&CC, he hit his second-shot approach into the par 5 to 10 feet, while Kang was off the green to the left. Before Kang ever had a chance to putt, he calmly rolled in the 10-foot eagle putt to secure his first PGA TOUR China title and only his second professional victory. Moved from No. 49 on the Order of Merit to No. 11.
  • Sunning Estate Nanjing Zhongshan Open: Entered the final round of the Sunning Estate Nanjing Zhongshan Open a stroke behind 54-hole leader Yi Keun Chang. Was 2-over on his front nine Sunday at Nanjing Zhongshan International GC and then double-bogeyed the 10th hole of the day to fall from contention. Rallied to shoot an even-par round on the back nine, good for a T6 with five others.
