Young Zhou Jun a worthy winner at Omega Championship

Zhou Jun, 24, became the Omega China Tour's youngest-ever champion after a closing 1-under-par 71 completed his remarkable wire-to-wire victory in the 1 million yuan ($146,00) Omega Championship, the circuit's season-ending event yesterday.

The Tianjin-based professional finished with a six-under total of 282, seven strokes clear of Wu Kangchun, his former national teammate and playing partner for the fourth successive day at the Beijing Longxi Hotspring Golf Club.

Wu, 27, also shot a closing 71 for his best result on the Tour since winning last year's Sofitel Golf Championship in his first event as a professional. Chinese Taipei's Chan Yih-shin, 31, finished third on two-over, after a final-round 77.
