Passed the ¥ 1-million mark in career earnings, joining only Dou with seven figures in total money made.

• Henan Open: Just missed picking up his third PGA TOUR title at the season-opening Henan Open in mid-May. Looked out of contention when the final round began, trailing 54-hole leader Zecheng Dou by six strokes. Was still down by five when he made the turn to the back nine Sunday at St. Andrews GC. Briefly took the lead on the 17th hole when Dou bogeyed the 16th. But after hitting the 17th green from a sidehill lie, he missed his birdie putt and his next two putts to double bogey. The four-putt dropped him a stroke back, but he finished regulation tied with Dou when Dou also bogeyed No. 17. On the first playoff hole, No. 18, he made a clutch, par-saving, 12-footer to keep the extra session alive. On the second playoff hole–again on No. 18–he hit his approach to the far left of the expansive green, leaving him a 105-foot birdie effort. Missed his 10-foot par putt, opening the door for Dou.
• Buick Open: Picked up his seventh and final top-10 of the year, a T6. Was within striking distance of eventual winner Huilin Zhang entering the final round, but a Sunday 76 at Foison GC ended any hopes of winning for a third consecutive season.
• Zhuhai Hengqin Phoenix Tree Open: Was right in contention heading into the weekend in Zhuhai in mid-November. Trailed 54-hole leader Charlie Saxon by four shots after putting together a 2-under 69 Saturday. Struggled on the last day playing in Saxon's group. A double bogey-6 on the par-4 11th hole ended his chances of winning. The top-10 was sixth of the season and fourth consecutive.
• Putian Open: Picked up his third consecutive top-10 and fifth overall with his fourth-place performance. Under difficult scoring conditions at the Putian Mazu GC and Resort, shot a pair of 73s on the weekend to finish five shots behind winner Taewoo Kim.
• Clearwater Bay Open: Began the final round of the Clearwater Bay Open tied for second, four strokes behind leader Alex Kang. Struggled early, with a double bogey on No. 1 and a bogey on No. 2. Righted the ship after that, with a par on No. 3 and then seven consecutive birdies, tying the Series' all-time record. Shot a 2-under 68 good for a T5 with David Lutterus.
• Ping An Bank Open: Made a late rally at the Ping An Bank Open in mid-September in Beijing and came close to pulling out the victory. Began the final round at Topwin G&CC tied for second, a stroke behind 54-hole leader Shun Yat Hak. Stepped to the 16th tee Sunday three shots behind leader and playing partner Charlie Saxon. Birdied his next two holes to cut Saxon's advantage to one stroke. Had a putt for birdie on No. 18 that would have forced a playoff, but he couldn't convert the putt. Instead settled for a solo-second finish, the sixth time in his PGA TOUR China career that he's been runner-up. Passed the ¥1-million mark in career earnings with his ¥129,600 payday.
• Yulongwan Yunnan Open: After not playing the final two events of the season's first half, returned to action in September in Yunnan Open. Was at even-par 142 through 36 holes then fired a 9-under 62 Saturday. Followed with a 68 on the final day to T10 for only his second top-10 of the year.

• Capital Airlines - HNA Real Estate Championship: Played solid golf all week at the season ending Capital Airlines - HNA Real Estate Championship, opening with a 1-under 71 then adding three consecutive rounds in the 60s at Hillview GC. A 68-68-67 finish left him T4 with Yi Keun Chang, four shots short of winner Zeyu He.
• Hainan Open: Could not overcome back-to-back bogeys on Nos. 9 and 10 in the final round of the Hainan Open. Came back for the top-five finish, a T5, when he birdied two of his final three holes at Dragon Valley coming in.
• Chongqing Jiangnan NewTown KingRun Open: Won his second Ping An Bank China Tour - PGA TOUR China Series event when he captured the Chongqing Jiangnan NewTown KingRun Open in mid-October. Entered the final round holding a one-shot lead over Australians Ray Beaufils and Bryden Macpherson following a Saturday, 7-under 65. Never faltered in the final round played in rain and heavy clouds. Was bogey-free at KingRun Nanshan GC, shooting his second consecutive 65 to cruise to a four-stroke triumph over Macpherson. The win moved him to third on the Order of Merit with three tournaments to play.
• Cadillac Championship: His 65-70 start to the Cadillac Championship gave him a share of the 36-hole lead with amateur Cheng Jin and Junghwan Lee. Stayed within striking distance of 54-hole leader Byungmin Cho after a 1-under 71 left him tied for fourth, four shots behind Cho. Could only manage a 2-over 74 Sunday to fall into a T10 with Sejun Yoon, Jin Zhang and Daniel Pearce.

• United Investment Real Estate Wuhan Open: Suffered a disappointing finish in Wuhan in mid-May. Stood on the 18th tee Sunday with a one-stroke lead, needing only a par to secure his first title. Three-putted on the final hole that dropped him into a playoff with Brett Drewitt and Hao Tong Li. Had a birdie putt for the victory on the first playoff hole, but he missed that and then couldn't match Drewitt's second-playoff-hole birdie. Finished T2 with Li, his second runner-up of the campaign to go with his second-place showing at the Mission Hills Haikou Open.
