The 27th Volvo China Open ended the first round at the Shenzhen Midfield Golf Club. Liu Yanwei and amateur teenager Ding Wen led together, and 6 players such as Li Haotong and Ye Wocheng tied for second place with a 1-stroke difference.
Liu Yanwei
The 24-year-old Liu Yanwei caught four birdies in the first nine holes, swallowed a bogey, and after the transfer, there was 1 birdie and 1 bogey respectively, and finally handed over 69 (-3), along with Ding Wenyi, with a one-stroke advantage.
"Today's overall play was quite stable, especially the long pole played very well, without too many mistakes." Liu Yanwei commented on her performance after the game. Liu Yanwei attaches great importance to this year's Volvo China Open and arrives at the Shenzhen Zhengzhong Golf Club ahead of schedule to prepare for the competition. 'It's the last game of the year, and it's also the biggest one, and I've been practicing a lot before the game, and I hope I can have a better state."
Liu Yanwei finished third at the last Volvo China Open and won her first professional title at the Men's Central Tour-Zhengzhou Classic in May. Standing on the stage of the Volvo China Open again this year, he hopes to play his best state more than the ranking. "Today is just the first round, I will not be too entangled in the ranking, but will focus more on myself, play the best state, play the best results."
Ding Wenyi
The runner-up of the last tournament, the 17-year-old amateur youngster Ding Wenyi, continued his good performance at the Shenzhen Zhengzhong Golf Club. Four birdies were caught in today's race, swallowing just one bogey on the 17th hole, also finishing the race with a 69 (-3).
"Today's game was generally OK, the putter was more satisfied, but there were more mistakes in the kick-off, so it was acceptable to balance it." Compared with last year, the green reading experience is much more, and the state of the course is more fully understood. Today if the wooden pole did not make as many mistakes, there was a chance to hit -5 strokes. ”
Li Haotong, a famous player in the same group as Ding Wen, gave him a high evaluation after the game. 'His ball is very good and I really appreciate his skills.
Li Haotong returned to the Volvo China Open after two years, grabbed 5 birds in the first round, swallowed 3 bogeys, and finished with 70 (-2), ranking second with 6 players including Huang Wenyi, Liu Yue, Liu Zehao, Ye Wocheng and Zhang Jin.
"In fact, today's day is not very good, and then played well in the middle, the kick-off is a lot worse than my normal level, so if the kick-off is not good, it will affect a lot of chances to catch birds." I also had some trepidation before today's game, because I hadn't played in a long time, which was a good opportunity to test myself, but today I didn't play so well, and I needed to adjust later. ”
In the first round, the amateur players performed remarkably well. In addition to the leading Ding Wenyi, Tang Haizhao, a 14-year-old amateur who participated in the Volvo China Open for the first time, caught an eagle on the 17th hole and tied for 9th place with a score of 71. "The first shot on the 17th hole was good, the second shot left almost 240 yards, hitting the green with the third wood and advancing 7 or 8 yards from the hole." Tang Haizhao said, "I felt a little excited about catching the eagle in the professional competition, and I hope that tomorrow's second round can maintain today's state." ”
Wu Dianchao, who was shortlisted through the Volvo Junior Hole Race, shot a -2 on the first 14 holes, but unfortunately swallowed a bogey on 15 to 17 holes to finish with 73 (+1) and tied for 20th place. "The first 13 holes of the first round were all very good, all within my ideal range. But there were some problems starting on the 14th hole, including my long iron hit to hit two straights, which was a technical mistake on my part. Wu Dianchao concluded after the game.
In order to ensure the safety of the participating players and related personnel, under the guidance and advice of the local government, the Chinese Golf Association, Volvo Cars and Zhengzhong Golf Club, taking into account the current epidemic situation, decided that the 27th Volvo China Open will be held closed from December 16 to 19, without spectators, and the scene is limited to participating players, referees, staff and other necessary technical support personnel.
