emirates7 - Chinese golfer Ashun Wu produced an impressive final-round score of 65 to secure a thrilling home victory and claim his second Volvo China Open title in Shanghai.
Wu, who won his first DP World Tour title at this event in 2015, marked his second triumph exactly ten years later, almost to the day. This victory, his fifth on the DP World Tour and the 11th by a Chinese player, propels him to 22nd in the Race to Dubai Rankings.
The 39-year-old remained just outside the lead for much of the final round, but a strong back nine performance with five birdies propelled him to a final score of 14 under at Enhance Anting Golf Club. Despite strong efforts from the final three groups, none could surpass his total, with Englishman Jordan Smith, Wu’s playing partner, finishing in second place at 13 under.
