Li Haotong tied for 11th place

On October 28th, Beijing time, the 2018 World Championships HSBC Championship came to an end at Shanghai Sheshan Golf Club. Li Haotong tied for 11th place, which is the best result among mainland Chinese players this year and the second best record in HSBC Championship history for mainland Chinese players.

There are a total of seven mainland Chinese players competing in this year's HSBC Champions League. For the past fourteen years, from 2005 to 2008, nine Chinese players have participated in the HSBC Champions League every year. Between 2009 and 2012, there were 4 Chinese players per year, but after 2013, it increased to 6 players per year and 7 players in 2017. Except for the promotion line set in 2007, there will be no elimination line for the remaining ten years.

In 2015, Li Haotong achieved a tie for 7th place, which is the best record of Chinese players in the HSBC Champions League so far. In 2011, Zhang Xinjun hit 64 strokes below par in the third round, setting a single round low stroke record for Chinese players.

The following is a review of the performance of mainland Chinese players over the past 14 years:
