Carl has his eyes on cash prize

SUZHOU, Jiangsu province - "Carl" Yuan Yechun will play for money for the first time at this week's 1.5 million yuan ($220,000) Suzhou Open after turning pro on Tuesday.

The tournament is being played at the Gary Player-designed Jinji Lake Golf Club and is the 10th of 14 events on this year's PGA Tour Series-China, with the top five on the money list earning cards for next year's Web.com Tour.
