On December 16, Beijing time, the China Open, which also has a long history, started the first round of the Shenzhen Zhengzhong Golf Club.
As the finale of the 2021 season of the China Tour, this China Open is full of good players, and in the lineup of participants, many familiar faces of the China Amateur Open have been seen, including Zhang Lianwei, Li Haotong, Chen Guxin, who have become professional players, as well as amateur players such as Ding Wenyi, Tang Haizhao, Wu Dianchao, etc., who have won honors in the National Level Event of the China Amateur Open, leading to a higher stage of their high-ball careers.
They shine on the field, connecting the past, present and future together, and let us feel the true meaning of "talented people in the country and mountains, each leading the way for hundreds of years".
It is worth mentioning that Ding Wenyi, Tang Haizhao, Bai Xiangyun, Pan Junjie, Deng Tao, Luo Shaojun and Lin Xingzhi are the participants of the "GAC Honda 2021 China Amateur Open Finals", which means that after finishing the professional competition, they will return to the amateur arena to compete on the same stage again.
In the first round of the China Open, Ding Wenyi caught four birdies and swallowed only one bogey on the 17th hole to tie liu Yanwei for a tie of 69 (-3). This is the amateur youngster's second time in the China Open. His first appearance was in 2020, at the China Open, which brought together the country's top professional players, when the 16-year-old Ding Wenyi performed eye-catchingly, finishing second, becoming the best amateur player in the 26 years of the China Open.
His performance in the GAC Honda China Amateur Open is enough to go down in history. In 2018, Ding Wenyi participated in the GAC Honda China Amateur Open for the first time, and after a year, he won the first men's championship of his golf career in the "GAC Honda China Amateur Open Finals".
In 2020, Ding Wenyi won the "GAC Honda 2020 China Amateur Open Series" for many times, and won the "Chengdu Station", "Zhengzhou Station" and "Haikou Station" men's group laurels, becoming the "Triple Crown" of the 2020 Series. The most classic picture is the moment of celebrating on December 27, 2020 when the 9-foot bird slaughter was pushed into the 9-foot green of the 18th hole of the Guangdong Zhenhu Golf Club. This push allowed him to successfully defend the title of "GAC Honda 2020 China Amateur Open Finals" men's annual championship.
In 2021, Ding Wenyi won the championship of "GAC Honda 2021 China Amateur Open Series Hubei", which was the first and only series he participated in this year. Prior to this, Ding Wenyi represented The Tianjin team in the 14th National Games in 2021 and won the third place in the team; at the China Men's Tour in May, he won the championship with a 4-stroke advantage, making him the youngest champion on the China Tour and the third amateur champion in the history of the Chinese Men's Tour.
With the start of the China Open, "Will Ding Wenyi become the first amateur champion in the history of the Chinese Open?" "It has also become a hot topic of discussion recently. Let's wait and see!

The first eagle ball in this year's China Open was scored on the 17th hole by Tang Haizhao, a 14-year-old amateur who played for the first time.
This is reminiscent of Tang Haizhao, who participated in the "GAC Honda 2021 China Amateur Open" for the first time this year, said in an interview with the organizing committee that after two years of physical training, the tee distance reached more than 300 yards. With such a strong explosive force, Tang Haizhao charged all the way in the "GAC Honda • 2021 China Amateur Open Series • Chongqing" and won the first "GAC Honda China Amateur Open" championship of his golf career with an advantage of 8 strokes.
I look forward to this young player being able to show more style on the professional stage!
