Teen Guan aims for strong showing

Sixteen-year-old Guan Tianlang will tee up at the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open starting on Thursday where his credentials as a rising star will be put to the test at the magnificent Heritage Golf Club.

The teenage prodigy is in no hurry to turn professional, preferring to take the American collegiate route in his bid to fulfill his potential.

"I just want to enjoy the week, play some good golf and get a good result," said Guan, who is at the holiday isle with his parents.
