Li Haotong ready to carry China's hopes at the WGC HSBC Champions

Chinese golfer, Li Haotong, is all set to spearhead China's hopes at the WGC HSBC championships to be played from October 31, at the Sheshan Golf Club in Shanghai, China. The world no. 59 is well aware of the fact that it will be not an easy task to win the tournament as the world's top golfers will be contesting for the World Golf Champions trophy.

A fine display from Chinese golfers

Haotong is of the opinion that many of the Chinese golfers performing well all around the globe in different tournaments will be a boost for the home golfers at the only WGC championship to be held in Asia every season at the Sheshan Golf Club in Shanghai.

An attempt to recover from a dismal start

Meanwhile, World No. 64, South African golfer, Justin Harding, is hoping to recover from the disappointing form that led to him missing the final cut in three of the last five tournaments. A two-time winner at the Asian Tour, Harding started the 2019 season with a win in Qatar that was followed by a decent 12th place finish at his first Master's tournament. Although, Justin's form has been inconsistent throughout the season but he plans to finish this year on a high note.
