Zhou Xunshu: A pro golfer on the China Tour

After a rough Saturday round (6-over 78) that included two double bogeys and balls in water hazards and trees, Zhou Xunshu found himself tied for 47th heading into last day of the Sofitel Zhongshan IGC Open in Nanjing. Even par through the first three holes of the final round, Zhou is just four strokes out of the top-20. The Gary Player designed course, and the gusty winds, have been hard on all the golfers this week. Only three golfers are under par for the tournament. Follow the final round with live scoring here.

南京 周训书为了更好的成绩而战

星期六比赛对周训书来说是很艰难的一轮，他打出了78杆高于标准杆6杆的成绩，其中包括两个双柏忌，球下水和球打进树丛。此轮比赛过后，周训书以并列第47位的成绩进入到在南京举办的索菲特钟山高尔夫公开赛的最后一天。最后一天的比赛，周的前三洞成绩是标准杆，这时他离前20名也只有四杆之差。Gary Player设计的球场加上强风给这个星期比赛的所有选手们造成了很大的困难。只有三位选手最终以低于标准杆的成绩完赛。点击这里关注最后一轮的实时比分直播。

Zhou Xunshu is a man of his word. Thursday night, after a woeful opening round 80, Zhou predicted he’d shoot a 70 on Friday and live to play on the weekend.

And that is just what he did. A motivated Zhou rallied for five birdies and registered the sixth best round of the dark and windy day at Zhongshan International Golf Club in Nanjing. The 2-under-par performance vaulted Zhou from 109th place to 33rd on the leaderboard for the second stop on the 2009 Omega China Tour.

“I am happy, very happy,” Zhou beamed after the round. “My wife is happy for me, too. Today I was totally relaxed and I know for this course I can hit 72 no problem.”

Zhou’s second to last hole, No. 8, was perhaps the most satisfying. On Thursday, Zhou registered a quadruple bogey on the 227-yard par 3. It took him four strokes to get his ball out of a bunker. On Friday, Zhou landed his tee shot on the fringe 20 feet to the right of the pin. His cap turned backwards because of the darkness, Zhou used his putter on his second shot. The ball hit the pin and, as Zhou’s caddie Zheng Yunlong yelled “Get in the hole!” in English, it disappeared into the cup for a birdie.

Zhou pumped his fist and greeted Zheng with a fist bump.

“I cursed that hole,” Zhou said. “And I finally got my revenge.”
