Adrian Otaegui grabs the win

A total of 156 golfers started out this week on the field at the Volvo China Open in Shenzhen. But only 68 athletes managed to make the cut; the rest, aside from Sebastian Friedrichsen, who withdrew, failed to do so. At the same time, Adrian Otaegui, who topped the scoreboard, did so with an 18-under over the three days of play. Moreover, he was able to clinch his fifth win on the European circuit, the last of which came at the 2022 Estrella Damm N.A. Andalucía Masters.

Hot on the Spaniard’s tail was none other than Guido Migliozzi, the professional who was a stroke behind at 17-under with scores of 65-67-67 over the three rounds. Following the Italian closely, three golfers tied at T3 with a figure of 16-under: Sebastian Soderberg, Paul Waring, and Joel Girbach.
