Beijing course braces for China Open

The April 26-29 Volvo China Open at Beijing Topwin Golf and Country Club will be tri-sanctioned by the China Golf Association, the European Tour and the Asian Tour, with a total purse of 20 million yuan ($3.15 million) up for grabs.

By hosting the tournament for the third time, Beijing Topwin Golf and Country Club, which opened in 2011 as an exclusive private members' club, ties the record set by Beijing International Golf Club.

Zhang Xiaoning, president of the China Golf Association said he was very pleased to see Topwin chosen.
