Zhou entered the clubhouse with a share of the lead after starting the tournament with a 3-under 69 (this also led to Zhou’s first in-tournament media interview). At the end of the day, Zhou found himself 3 back and in a five-way tie for fourth place. Zhou’s best finish so far on the tour was an 8th on the Guangzhou Leg in June.

Go here for the full leaderboard. Zhou tees off at 11:10 am on Friday.
