Xu Qin, the 27-year-old Ian Poulter 'dress-alike', and in-form Zhou Jun both shot three-under-par 69 to share the first-round lead in the RMB1 million Omega Championship yesterday, the Omega China Tour's season-ending event at the Beijing Longxi Hotspring Golf Club.
Hong Kong-based Nick Redfern and Zhou Xunshu, who both had their wives caddying for them, each carded 70 to lie joint-third with Wu Ligui.
Chinese Taipei star Hsu Mong-nan, Hong Kong's Wong Woon-man and Chen Xiaoma, last year's Most Improved Player, shot 71 to share sixth place.
