Last week, China’s Li Haotong won first place in the BMW golf tournament for the first time in four years, beating Belgium’s Thomas Pieters.
Li Hao Tong is a Chinese professional golfer. He is considered one of China’s best golfers. Born in 1995, Li is now 26 and ranks 134 in the world record, according to the Official World Golf Record.
However, previously, Li decided he was going to quit golf. In 2021, Li’s world rank even dropped to a world rank of 471 after the golfer missed 14 cuts.
Yet, Li managed to bounce back and win first with a forty-foot birdie putt, also known as a hole-in-one. Compared to last year, this golfer’s achievement is no small feat.
“Somehow … I am [here] now, it’s just hard to describe,” Li emotionally revealed to BBC.
“I had no idea I could win this play-off. Luckily things happened for me again.”
Haotong’s career began in 2011. He won titles in various tournaments like the Masters Tournament in 2018, the PGA Championship in 2020, and the US Open in 2018.
During the competition, Li told BBC that he kept on telling himself to hit good putts, despite it being tough.
But in the end, Li said that “it doesn’t matter, win or lose – I just want to play my best out there and luckily I did.”
