Liang to take part in torch relay

LIANG Wenchong will carry the Asian Games torch during its relay run through Guangdong today, the day before he begins his title defence at the US$1 million Midea China Classic.

Liang will head to his native Zhongshan where he will run with the Asian Games torch in the morning before returning to Shunde, an hour's drive away, where he tees off the following day at Royal Orchid International Golf Club.

"As a golfer, I feel so honoured to be chosen as an Asian Games torchbearer, especially in Zhongshan, my hometown. Zhongshan was where China's first golf course was built (at Zhongshan Hot Spring Golf Club) and has been an important part of Chinese golf," said Liang.

The Asian Games will be held in Guangzhou next month, although the golf competition is for amateurs.

Liang sits second in the OneAsia Order of Merit after wins in Chengdu and Thailand.
