Zhang poised to make history at China Open
Print Edition
Zhang Jienalin will make history this week when she becomes the first female golfer to compete in the 26-year history of the Volvo China Open.
The tournament in Shenzhen usually has European Tour status and is for men only but the coronavirus and consequent travel restrictions sees it tweaked this year into a domestic event. The 24-year-old Zhang, who is ranked 484th in the world, won her first title at the recent mixed-field Hangzhou International Championships. On that occasion women were competing from forward tees, but in southern China she will tee it up on the same length course as her male rivals. “For me this week it’s all about driving distance. I failed to hit the green in two shots on many of the par fours in practice today,” Zhang said in a press release yesterday. “My main aim is obviously to make the cut.” The tournament has a total purse of 2 million yuan (US$300,000).
