Compared to a young Tiger Woods and known as ‘the little boy’ or ‘the toddler’ among Chinese golf circles, Yanhan Zhou is undoubtedly a future star of the game. And that’s if he isn’t already considered one.
Born in April 2008, Zhou is midway through his 17th trip around the sun. Yet, he has already won 10 times as a professional and doesn’t appear to be stopping any time soon.
His most recent victory arrived via a playoff in the China Tour’s Chengdu Open on Sunday.
The teenager matched Bo Jin’s 21-under total as both birdied the final hole at Luxehills International Country Club to sign for closing 65s (-7).
