Description

The China Tour heads to the "Mountain City" for the Chongqing Open, hosted at the technical Poly Chongqing Golf Club. The primary challenge for the field is the course's significant elevation changes and the narrow fairways carved through dense mountain forestry, which demand extreme precision and strategic club selection. The objective for the players is to navigate the tiered greens and avoid the penalizing natural hazards to establish an early foothold in this RMB 1,000,000 event.

Strategically, the opening round is a test of positional accuracy over raw power. The goal for the field is to manage the swirling mountain breezes that can make the steep downhill par-3s play multiple clubs shorter than their measured distance. The tactical focus for the contenders is to capitalize on the scoring opportunities at the par-5 holes to offset the difficulty of the tighter mid-round stretch. With crucial Order of Merit points at stake, the ultimate goal for the starters is to post a sub-70 score and stay within striking distance of the lead.
