Li Hao-Tong (, born 3 August 1995) is a Chinese professional golfer. ==Career== Li turned professional in 2011 and played his early pro career on the OneAsia Tour and PGA Tour of Australasia. He also competed in a few European Tour events. Li qualified for the new PGA Tour China in 2014, where he won three times and led the tour's Order of Merit to become the first Chinese member of the Web.com Tour. He finished 11th in his first Web.com Tour event, the Panama Claro Championship. Li entered the inaugural Shenzhen International, an event added to the European Tour for 2015. Following a first and second round of 71 and 73 respectively, Li managed a third round of seven-under-par 65, alongside two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson, who he outscored by 9 shots. At that stage it was the joint lowest round of the tournament alongside Spain's Pablo Larrazabal.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Day 3 in Numbers: Shenzhen International )〕 Speaking of the experience of playing alongside Watson, Li said, "He's pretty nice guy, so I very much enjoyed playing with him. I hit a lot of greens and made a lot of birdies. I was pretty lucky also." Watson praised the youngster, saying, "He's hitting the ball really well. He's making a lot of putts. The key around a golf course is a lot of putts and he made a lot of putts today."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Li sets the standard )〕 On day four of the tournament, Li shot a round of 67, but had to watch on TV to see if he would become the first Chinese player to win a European Tour event on home soil. Thailand's Kiradech Aphibarnrat, who had led for the majority of the tournament, managed to draw level at 12-under-par and force a playoff, which he won by one shot.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Aphibarnrat pips Li in play-off )〕 The next week, Li finished 6th at the Volvo China Open before returning to the Web.com Tour. In his first full-season on a major U.S.-based tour, Li finished 61st on the 2015 Web.com Tour money list. He also played in the 2015 WGC-HSBC Champions as one of six Chinese invites and finished T7, the highest ever PGA Tour finish for a Chinese-born player. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Li Hao-Tong」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
