Haikou, December 3 (Xinhua) -- On December 3, Zhang Yunxuan, a 19-year-old girl from Shenzhen, won the China High School Association Women's Championship at Mission Hills Court 2 in Haikou, becoming the first player in history to participate in the women's China Tour for the first time and win an independently certified event.
With the exception of Yang Taoli, who won the first race of her first season on the Women's China Tour in 2009, no one had ever won an independently sanctioned event on the Women's China Tour for the first time before this week. Zhang Yunxuan broke this record when she shot a 68 in the final round to win the championship by 6 strokes overall.
After lifting the trophy, Zhang Yunxuan said: "I am very happy, because I have never won a professional match, and it is also the first time I have returned to China to play the women's China Tour, and I have never played the women's China Tour before. ”
Zhang Yunxuan's three-round score of 205 (69-68-68), 11 under par, won the championship and automatically qualified for the women's two-year tour. Two weeks later, she will compete in the final match of the Women's China Tour, the Oriental China Women's Open.
Chinese Taipei's Chen Yuru finished second with a three-round score of 211, five under par. Pan Yanhong, a veteran golfer from Hebei, shot a 212 in three rounds, four under par, and ranked third.
The 2023 China High School Association Women's Championship is hosted by the China Golf Association, supported by the Hainan Golf Association and the Hainan Provincial Department of Tourism, Culture, Radio, Television and Sports. (ENDS).
