Beijing, China – September 14, 2025 – Laser projection met cutting-edge digital technology as the 2025 China Tour · GOLFJOY Open wrapped up at Beijing’s prestigious Reignwood Golf Club, offering a spectacular celebration that bridged virtual innovation and traditional fairways.
Seventeen-year-old prodigy Zhou Yan emerged triumphant after battling gusty winds and a tense playoff. Finishing with rounds of 68-68-68-71 for a 275 total (-13), Zhou secured his seventh China Tour title and third win of the 2025 season.
The award ceremony was attended by Mr. He Fengxiang, Chairman of the China Golf Association, Mr. Wei Qingfeng, Secretary-General, Larry, Chairman of GOLFJOY Technology, Mr. Li Jinliang, Director of the Men’s Professional Events Department, Mr. Yang Qing, General Manager of Reignwood Ecological Park, and Mr. Xia Qing, Chairman of Lisheng Sports, who jointly presented trophies to the winners.
Thrilling Finale Under Challenging Conditions
Final-round play at Reignwood Golf Course was shaped by swirling winds, testing both technical skills and mental resilience. Only Cao Senshou kept pace with Zhou’s title charge, creating a gripping two-man duel.
Zhou built a three-shot cushion over the front nine, but drama struck late: bogey on 16 and a costly double bogey on 17 erased his advantage. Both players parred the 18th, forcing the season’s first playoff.
The crowd erupted as the playoff began. After matching pars on the opening hole, Cao faltered on the second, finding deep rough and carding bogey, while Zhou calmly saved par to seal the win. Amateur Kuang Yang, competing on a GOLFJOY sponsor exemption, shot even par over four rounds to finish T20 and earn Best Amateur honors.
Star-Studded Field and Innovative Formats
This year’s Open featured the strongest regular-season lineup in China Tour history, bringing together veterans, peak performers, and emerging stars such as Liang Wenchong, Jin Zihao (2024 Money Leader), Wang Shouqian (2025 Guangdong Open Champion), and Zhang Xinjun.
The tournament also debuted a China Tour Club Cup, pairing 12 amateur teams with professionals in the weekend rounds — blending elite competition with community engagement.
