Max makes the most of bad weather

It was only a matter of time.

After six top-10 finishes, including four top-fives, American Max McGreevy finally lifted his first trophy in China after being declared the 36-hole champion at the weather-affected Guangzhou Open.

Although considered an unofficial victory, the prize money is very much real, with McGreevy's 288,000 yuan ($42,000) top prize moving him to first place on the order of merit with five events remaining.
