Chinese teenager Guan Tianlang had a memorable week at the Augusta National Golf Club in the United States.
Guan's success at the Masters is expected to boost the image of golf in China. The game was introduced to the country in the 1980s, but has been hampered by the perception that it's only a sport for the wealthy.

If you went back 10 years or whenever, and someone said that a 14-year-old would make the cut at the Masters, you would have laughed at the idea. Incredible story, incredible human being. The way he handled the penalty shot that was given to him (for slow play on Friday) was also unbelievable, so he's just a great, great kid and I've never seen anything like it. I think (when) people over there look at a 14 year old playing on the world stage, that's just going to open the floodgates. China is an emerging golf nation because of this young kid."
