Li: Chinese players closing gap to elite

While Li Haotong reckons Chinese golfers are gaining ground on the world's elite, he believes they could accelerate the process by testing themselves on a wider variety of global courses.

World No 54 Li has led China's charge on the world stage ever since his breakthrough third-place finish at the 2017 British Open.

The 24-year-old is among seven Chinese players hoping to upstage the likes of top-10 superstars Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose and Xander Schauffele at this week's WGC HSBC Champions tournament at Sheshan International in Shanghai.
