Li Haotong hailed the huge strides being made by Chinese golf after homegrown talent took the Volvo China Open by storm over the weekend.
A superb final two rounds (66-66) saw Li claim the Rong Gaotang Award as the top Chinese finisher after his 16-under 272 was good enough for fourth place, four shots back of Finnish winner Mikko Korhonen, who beat France's Benjamin Hebert in a playoff.
Li's compatriot Wu Ashun also thrilled the home fans, leading the field after 36 holes but eventually seeing his challenge fade to finish at 15-under.
