Kang wins debut PGA Tour Series-China tournament
Print Edition
American Jeffrey Kang shot a sensational 8-under-par 64 — his second in three days — to secure a five-shot victory at the Chengdu Championship, the opening event of this season’s PGA Tour Series-China.
Bouncing back from an opening 74, Kang posted a stunning 20-under total of 268 at Luxehills International Country Club in Chengdu, Sichuan Province, after shooting 22-under in his last 54 holes (64-66-64). The Los Angeles-born 26-year-old finished five clear of English duo Callum Tarren (69) and William Harrold (67), and Korea-born American Sejun Yoon (68). Hong Kong, China’s Hak “Jason” Shunyat, leader for the first three rounds, carded a 73 to share fifth place with China’s Jin Daxing (69) and Japanese Kenta Konishi (69) on 14-under. Every tournament — 14 events are scheduled — on this year’s PGA Tour Series-China offers 1.5 million yuan (US$236,970), a 25-percent increase over purse levels from 2016.
