The cold wind made things really difficult so good concentration was paramount.Hu added a one over par 73 to his opening round 73 to win by two shots over national junior squad member Liu Yu-xiang, who led the event for much of the day until dropped shots on the 17th and 18th pulled him back to the field, and Beijing-based Tuo Wen-tao, who closed with a four over round of The three will now compete with some of the world’s leading players in the 17th Volvo China Open in Chengdu later this month. It’s my national Open so I plan to do well. Hu Mu claimed his first victory as a professional golfer by winning the Northern China qualifying event for the Volvo China Open in Tianjin today.This will be my third Volvo China Open and I’m very much looking forward to playing with top European Tour stars. The 21-year-old drilled a three-iron 256-yards on the long par-five ninth to set up his first birdie of the day. I’m both thrilled and relieved to get through what was a very tough day,” said Hu.
Hu could have been five or even six under par for today’s round had his putter cooperated as well as his woods and iron clubs.
The dropped shots on 17 and 18 were uncharacteristic of his round, and he put them down to bad luck.
The event this year offers a record prize fund of RMB20 million (approx US$3 million), with the Champion receiving a cheque for RMB3 million (approx US$500,000). I had a bad lie in the rough on the edge of a bunker on the 17th and the ball flew to the back of the green,” said Liu.Liu demonstrated a talent way beyond his 17 years today and fully deserves his place in Chengdu. The Volvo China Open will take place over the JMP-designed 7,335-yard layout at Luxehills International Country Club in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. An eight-foot par putt on the par-four 14th seemed to be the key point in the Shenzhen-born Hu’s round, and he admitted later to feeling more confident over the difficult closing holes after holing the putt and seeing his name at the top of the leaderboard that was positioned on the back of the same green. It was a difficult shot anyway from the poor lie but I’m proud of myself for holing the five-foot bogey putt. Hu spit the fairway on the long par-five 15th hole and hit a majestic fairway wood 260 yards over the lake to set up a 25-foot eagle putt that stopped inches away from the hole, but left him with a tap-in birdie.
