Golf tournaments on various tour events in 2022 are gradually opening. In the mid-January ball game, Li Haotong participated in the PGA Tour and had the opportunity to attack the championship. Unfortunately, the decline in performance at the weekend led to him only finishing tied for 12th place. Chen Guxin competed in the Singapore International Competition and failed to qualify by a 1-stroke difference.
PGA Tour Li Haotong T12
WeChat signing player Li Haotong won a wild card for the Sony Open and was able to play at Waile Country Club in Hawaii.
Since returning to China at the end of last year, the former Chinese brother has gradually recovered his status and finished runners-up at the Volvo China Open.
In the first round, Li Haotong handed over 8 birdies and 1 bogey to finish with 63 strokes. That's the lowest number of strokes a Chinese golfer has ever made at the Sony Open, tied for 4th place.

In the second round, Li Haotong, who wore glasses, continued to erupt, getting 6 birds and 1 bogey, ranking 2nd. This is The first time Li Haston has qualified for the Sony Open and the first time since the 2020 Grand Slam that he has advanced on the PGA Tour.
However, entering the "mobile day", Li Haotong's performance has once again fluctuated. After smoothly completing the first ten holes, he swallowed 1 bogey and 1 double bogey in the back nine, only to pull back a city with a birdie on the 18th hole. His ranking dropped to a tie for 3rd place, four strokes behind the top of the table.
By the final round, the 26-year-old's putter scoring rate plummeted and was at a negative value. This led to his failure to catch enough birds. Li Haotong finished in 12th place with a 63-65-68-69 -15, failing to finish in the top ten to qualify for next week's PGA TOUR.

This result surpassed Liang Wenchong(2010) and Zhang Xinjun (2018) in 25th place, setting a new record for Chinese golfers in the Sony Open.
Japan's Hideki Matsuyama staged a Jedi counterattack, handing over -7 in the final round and equalizing 54-hole leader Russell Henry with a total of -23 to score the extra hole. In the extra hole match, Hideki Matsuyama shot down the Eagles to directly win the eighth win of his PGA Tour career, equaling the record of the most PGA Tour wins set by South Korean Choi Kyung-joo.
Asian Tour Chen Guxin did not qualify
The Asian Tour ushers in the first game of 2022 , the Singapore International. 18-year-old young player Tan Gu-sun travels to Singapore for the first time to compete.
In the first round, Chen Guxin shot a 74 and tied for 31st place. But in the second round, he swallowed 2 bogeys and 2 double bogeys and failed to get a birdie. This led him to miss the +7 promotion line with a +8 of 74-78 and a margin of 1 stroke.
