MELBOURNE, Dec. 5-- The future of Chinese golf will be on full display when Jin Bo and Xu Andi represent China and the International Team at the Junior Presidents Cup at The Royal Melbourne Golf Club in Melbourne, Australia on December 8-9. The teenaged duo are among five Asian junior golfers, including India's Kartik Sharma, Chinese Taipei's Chuan Tai Lin and South Korea's Jang Hyun Lee, selected to compete in the two-day competition against the United States Team in what is the prelude to the Presidents Cup which takes place at the same iconic venue from December 9-15. While Li Haotong, China's No. 1, will feature in the showpiece event, all eyes will be on Jin and Xu, both 17, as they have been touted as rising stars in the game. Jin, who hails from Beijing, was a finalist at the U.S. Junior Amateur this year and also finished third at the Junior PLAYERS Championship. He has verbally committed to Oklahoma State University, whose alumni include PGA TOUR stars Rickie Fowler, Charles Howell III and Viktor Hovland. "It's definitely a great honor. It's always been one of my goals to play in the Junior Presidents Cup and it's great to have the opportunity to represent my home country and the International Team," said Jin, whose brother Jin Cheng was the winner of the 2017 Asia Pacific Amateur Championship, which earned him a start in the Masters Tournament in 2016, and also won on the PGA TOUR Series-China in 2017 as an amateur. |
