35 degres C temperatures plus humidity for the second successive day at the West Palace Club for the inaugural Beijing Open. Two locals filled the first two places with Holland's Jenno Wolters third. Catalan Pilar Montero finished fourth and leading lady. Fang Ji Liang carded a final round 53 for a 54 hole aggregate of 166. That left the Chinese player a two shot winner over fellow Chinese Liu Yuan who had led into the last eighteen on 112.
FIPPA General Secretary Jose-Maria Anzizu, who attended the tournament says, "I believe it has been a very successful event to introduce Pitch and Putt in China. The prize (and gifts) giving ceremony was both formal and 'simpatica'."
