China's veteran golfer Zhang Lianwei failed to deliver anything amazing at last weekend's Volvo China Open but was still lauded as the most celebrated Chinese in the tournament's history.

As the only person to have played all 15 years of the Volvo China Open, the 44-year-old legend is credited as the pioneer of the sport in China and was duly honored and widely recognized by fans and overseas players for his past achievements, hard work and consistency.

Though he finished back in 71st place after the final round, he was still presented with a crystal vase and a bottle of champagne by organizers.
