Zhou Xunshu shot a 5-under 67 and enjoyed the best round of his China Tour career Thursday in the opening round of the Luxehills Golf Championship in Chengdu. From the official report:

Australian Josh Lane made a fast start to his Omega China Tour debut by shooting a seven-under-par, bogey-free 65 for a one-stroke lead in the first round of the RMB1 million Luxehills Golf Championship in Chengdu.

Zhang Chengwei and Chen Jian both shot 66 at the Luxehills International Country Club, finishing one ahead of China team amateur David Wei Wei, Zhou Xunshu and Wu Kangchun, the 2007 Sofitel Golf Championship winner. …

Zhou, 36, started last season with two top-10 finishes and rediscovered his form with an impressive 67, which included four birdies on the back nine.

“My mental game was great,” said the former golf course security guard. “The technical side of my game has been fine, but I’ve let myself down with my mental game. I really felt an improvement, more steady and relaxed.”
