Scotsman springs Shanghai surprise

Alternate Knox holds his nerve to win HSBC Champions

Russell Knox made an unexpected trip to Shanghai and left with a most surprising victory on Sunday in the HSBC Champions.

Knox became the first player to win a World Golf Championship in his debut when the 30-year-old from Scotland was flawless on the back nine of Sheshan International and closed with a 4-under 68 for a two-shot victory over Kevin Kisner.
