and an energetic violin quartet, were representatives from sponsors
Lacoste, TCL Mobile, TaylorMade and the Tsinghua University School
of Economics and Management in Beijing.
On the course, Guo Hou De was the big winner on the day as the
13.2 handicap shot a 12-over 84 for nett 70.8 and the low nett
prize. Liu Man Tian finished runner-up with a nett 71.4, followed
by Fu Jie Ren with a nett 74.6.
