2019 Nantong Championship
Nantong was a bus ride and a short flight from the previous week in Qinhuangdao and was played at the Yangtze River Golf Club which sits on a island in the Yangtze River delta just north of Shanghai. The course was back to a more traditional resort style and presented in excellent condition.

2019 Luisita Invitational
It was an extremely quick transition from Haikou to Luisita as the 2019 Luisita Championships started on a Monday to make way for the Easter Long weekend in the Philippines.
Haikou Championship
The Haikou Championship was playing at the very narrow, Sunac 3 mile course just outside of Haikou City on China’s Hainan island. This would be a very challenging week for all involved as the tour had lost one of its nicest players on the Sunday before the event. Arie Irawan was a tremendous character whoContinue reading “Haikou Championship”
