Cool Canadian holds off challenge from charging Yuan

QINHUANGDAO, Hebei province - Canada's Richard Jung vaulted from 35th to eighth on the PGA Tour Series-China's order of merit after earning 270,000 yuan (around $40,000) for his dramatic two-stroke win over playing partner "Carl" Yuan Yechun at the Suzhou Open on Sunday.

The top 10 on the money list are all competing at this week's Qinhuangdao Championship (Sept 6-9) before the tour has a two-week break and wraps up with the Macao Championship (Sept 27-30), Zhuhai Championship (Oct 4-7) and Clearwater Bay Open in Hong Kong (Oct 11-14).

Jung's surprise triumph at Jinji Lake Golf Club in Jiangsu province followed just one previous top-10 this year, a tie for eighth at the season-opening Chengdu Championship.
