Zhou Xun Shu rebounded from his rough Friday outing to go under par for the weekend, posting rounds of 71 and 70 on Saturday and Sunday to finish in a five-way tie for ninth in the Kunming Leg of the Omega China Tour at Lakeview Golf Club in Yunnan Province. Zhou’s second top-ten finish of 2007 (he placed eighth in Guangzhou) earned him RMB 12,860 before tax and moved him up to 13th on the 2007 Omega China Tour Order of Merit with RMB 64,035 in prize money.

The only major blemish on Zhou’s final round card was a double bogey on 10, a 449 yard par 4 that Zhou had parred the previous three rounds. After a tee shot that landed in the hilly rough to the left of the fairway, he barely missed an 18-foot par putt and then again just missed on a 3-footer for bogey. Birdies on 12 and 16 pulled Zhou back to 4-under for the tournament, which is how he finished, 11 strokes behind winner Zheng Wengen.
Next up for Zhou is the Midea China Classic, an Asian Tour event at the Royal Orchid International Golf Club in Beijiao Town, Shunde City, Guangdong Province, September 13-16.
