Tommy on top to seal Qingdao spot

Rising Chinese star "Tommy" Cao Senshou topped qualifying for the second straight week after shooting a 3-under 69 to secure entry into this week's Qingdao Championship, the eighth event on the PGA Tour Series-China calendar.

American Ryan Pedder, who has played in five events this year through his conditional status, shot 72 at Tiger Beach Golf Links in his first qualifier to finish second, one shot ahead of compatriot James Lee, Korea's Ian Song and Chinese Taipei veteran Tsai Chi-huang, a two-time Asian Tour winner.

Canada's Eugene Wong carded a 74 to share sixth with New Zealander Hayden Beard and Korean duo Lee Joon-heui and Hong Ju-hyun, one shot ahead of China's Zheng Liang, who won a four-man playoff to earn the 10th and final spot in the 156-player Qingdao field.
