WELCOME FROM STEFAN JACOBY 斯蒂芬．雅各布致辭 It is with great pleasure that I welcome you on behalf of the entire Volvo family to the 18th Volvo China Open, here at Binhai Lake Golf Club in Tianjin. I travel to China on a regular basis and I have come to know and admire this amazing country, which Volvo Car Corporation now considers as our second home market. We have high ambitions for growth and our venture in China includes new car plants, expanded dealer network, new recruits and ambitious sales targets. Our global sponsorship campaigns include our golf portfolio as well as the Volvo Ocean Race. The Race made a groundbreaking stopover in China, in the magnificent port of Sanya, known as, 'China's Hawaii,' on Hainan Island during the first part of 2012. The Volvo China Open is already seen as one of the biggest tournaments in Asia and it is watched by people from all over the world. The number of Chinese golfing talents is growing – in fact the sport is booming – and we are very confident that this increase in profile will continue in line with China's own remarkable growth.

President & CEO Volvo Car Corporation

I would like to express my gratitude to everyone who has participated in bringing the Volvo China Open to this level and I look forward to yet another exciting world-class tournament.

沃爾沃汽車公司 總裁兼首席執行官

Spectators, players, guests, members of the media indeed, everyone supporting this event, it is a pleasure having you here at the Tianjin Binhai Lake Golf Club. 2012 is a special year for us since it marks the 20th anniversary of the arrival of the Volvo Group here in China. Since then, this has become the 3rd largest independent market for us globally. Without doubt it was a fantastic opportunity and a wise choice also to get involved with golf in China as the first western brand in 1995. Together with the China Golf Association we have seen golf as a sport take off, just as the Chinese economy, and this national open championship has grown in importance and attracted a stronger and more international field every year. The Volvo China Open provides us with a perfect backdrop to showcase our brand and our products both in China and to a worldwide audience. Thanks to extensive media coverage clients who are passionate about the sport are able to follow the game at a close range.

WELCOME FROM GEORGE O’GRADY CBE 喬治．奧格瑞迪致辭 One of the chief aims of the Volvo China Open is to take the game to different parts of this endlessly fascinating country, and with the move to Binhai Lake Golf Club, the people of Tianjin will get the chance to see some of the game’s finest players at close quarters. Measuring 7,667 yards, the North Dye Course at Binhai Lake Golf Club is the longest to have hosted the Volvo China Open and, like many of Pete Dye’s designs the world over, I have no doubt it will provide a test of golf worthy of this prestigious tournament. Since joining The European Tour International Schedule in 2004,China’s National Open has gone from strength to strength, aided in no small part by Volvo’s title sponsorship. Having first sown the seeds of our partnership at the 1987 Volvo Belgian Open we have developed a strong bond with Volvo – this is the 76th staging of a European Tour event supported by one of our longest-standing partners – so we should thank Per Ericsson, President of Volvo Event Management, for his sterling support.

Chief Executive The European Tour 歐洲巡回賽 首席執行官

We should also thank Mr Li Hao, President of the Tianjin Binhai Lake Golf Club, who has been instrumental in the development of the Volvo China Open, having previously hosted the event at his Beijing CBD International and Honghua International Golf Clubs. Finally, we should also applaud the work of Zhang Xiaoning, Executive Vice President and Secretary General of the China Golf Association, and indeed the China Golf Association as a whole for their efforts in growing the game. 沃爾沃中國公開賽的目標之一是將高爾夫運動傳播到中國各地。今年賽事 來到濱海湖高爾夫球會，天津的球迷將有機會近距離體驗國際職業大賽和頂級 球員的風采。 長達7,667碼的濱海湖北戴球場是沃爾沃中國公開賽舉辦球場中最長的一 個，如同皮特．戴在世界其他地方的作品一樣，我相信這將為參賽選手提供與 賽事聲望相符的嚴峻考驗。 自從2004年加入歐巡賽以來，在冠名贊助商沃爾沃的鼎力支持下，中國國 家高爾夫球公開錦標賽的規模正逐年擴大。 早在1987年，當歐巡賽與沃爾沃首度結盟舉辦沃爾沃比利時公開賽，在我 們之間就建立起了強大牢固的關係——本屆比賽將是我們最長久的合作伙伴沃 爾沃贊助舉行的第76場歐巡賽事——因此，我們要感謝沃爾沃盛事管理公司 總裁艾瑞森先生的鼎力支持。 我們還要感謝濱海湖高爾夫球會總裁李皓先生，他旗下的北京CBD國際高 爾夫球會和鴻華國際高爾夫球會都曾經承辦過沃爾沃中國公開賽，感謝他對公 開賽的一貫支持。 最後，我們還應該把掌聲送給中國高爾夫球協會常務副主席兼秘書長張小 寧先生和他的團隊，感謝他們對推動中國高爾夫球運動發展做出的努力。

VOLVO IN GOLF A quarter of a century ago, Volvo became one of the world’s first multinationals to realise the value of golf as an important business tool. They recognised the strong link between their brand and golfers, amateur and professional, around the world. This mutually productive relationship between Volvo and golf began with the Volvo PGA Championship at Wentworth, won by golfing super stars such as Nick Faldo, Seve Ballesteros, José María Olazábal and Colin Montgomerie. This pedigree underlines the quality present in all of Volvo’s links with golf. The company has Volvo China Open 2012 | 20

- A Perfect Drive been associated with a wealth of top-drawer championships, most notably the Volvo Masters which for more than 20 years was the dramatic climax to the European Tour’s season. For many years, Volvo was also the main title sponsor of the Order of Merit, the template for today’s Race to Dubai. Volvo’s innovative portfolio of events has moved with the times, last year seeing the first-ever true tournament of champions on the European Tour - the Volvo Golf Champions - an elite event for proven winners. This year’s thrilling play-off at Fancourt in South Africa saw emerging star Brandon Grace edge past two of his legendary compatriots, Ernie Els and Retief Goosen. Volvo China Open 2012 | 21

Volvo is also very proud of the Volvo World Match Play Championship which dates back to 1964 and is one of the most iconic events in global golf, the unofficial world championship of match play. Taking over sponsorship in 2009, the company mixed tradition with innovation and reinvigorated this flagship event, introducing qualification on merit and attracting golf’s brightest stars. The field last year was the strongest ever, with the world’s top three golfers and all four Major champions amongst the 24-man line-up. And so to China. Inaugurated in 1995 and on the European Tour since 2004, the Volvo China Open is the nation’s most revered event and one of the most prestigious Opens in world golf. Growing at a pace thanks to Volvo’s investment and a solid relationship with the world’s fastest-growing

golf market, the tournament is complemented by the Volvo China Junior Championship which provides a pathway for the country’s ever-expanding array of young talent. In addition, the Volvo World Golf Challenge is the company’s prestigious tournament for customers and prospective clients, already contested in more than 25 countries and including the money-can’t-buy chance of ‘Playing with the Pros’; a unique pairing of professional and amateur golfer playing together as a team. Volvo’s ground-breaking approach has also led to significantly increased prize money and player services such as courtesy cars and players’ lounges

which are now par for the course and an enduring legacy of Volvo’s contribution to golf. According to Per Ericsson, President of Volvo Event Management, “Golf here in China is expanding more rapidly than anywhere else before. Volvo was the first western brand to engage with China and we are very proud to be continuing and developing further our long-standing relationship with golf in this, the most populated country in the world. We are delighted because as in all healthy relationships, we know that what Volvo puts into golf is matched by what golf gives back.”

25年前，沃爾沃成為率先發現 高爾夫 運動 的價值、並將其轉 化為重要的商業推廣手段的跨 國企業 之一。他們認識到品牌 與全世界的高爾夫人群——無 論業余還是職業球員——之間 的強有力的 聯繫。最初 的 聯姻 始於在溫特沃斯球場上演的沃 爾沃PGA錦標賽，冠軍名單中 不乏尼克．佛度、賽弗．巴拉斯 特羅斯、歐拉扎寶和蒙哥馬利等 國際球星。 首次合作即顯示出沃爾沃對高 品質的不懈追求，這一理念延續到 沃爾沃參與的所有高爾夫項目中。 其中最知名的要數長達20年之久的 歐巡賽季末總決賽——沃爾沃大師 賽，以及今天“衝刺迪拜”獎金榜的 前身——沃爾沃獎金排行榜。 時至今日，沃爾沃仍延 續着對 職業賽事的創新。創建於去年的首

沃爾沃與高爾夫 完美結合、動力無限 屆沃爾沃高爾夫冠軍賽，被譽為真 正的“冠軍之戰”，參賽者均是曾在 歐巡賽奪冠的優秀球員。今年冠軍 賽移師南非範考特球場，再次上演 扣人心弦的一幕——本土新秀布蘭 頓．格瑞斯，延長賽力克南非高壇兩 位偶像——厄尼．埃爾斯和雷鐵夫． 古森，摘得桂冠。 對於贊助世界比洞錦標賽，沃 爾 沃 深 感自豪。這 是 一項 創 建自 1964年的國際頂級賽事，沃爾沃自 2 0 0 9 年開始冠名贊助以 來，再次 發揚秉承傳統、銳意創新的辦賽理 念，對參賽資格的甄選進行大膽革 新，吸引了更多世界高壇頂級球星 的加盟。去年的參賽陣容更是達到 史上最強，24個參賽席位中，世界 排名前三和四大滿貫賽冠軍得主等 一眾球星悉數到場。

在中國，始於1995年並在2004 年加入歐 巡 賽 的 沃 爾沃中國公 開 賽，是中國歷史最久、首屈一指的國 際職業大賽，也是世界高壇最賦聲 望的國家公開錦標賽之一。得益於沃 爾沃的傾力投入和中國經濟的飛速 發展，沃爾沃中國公開賽及其附屬賽 事——沃爾沃中國青少年冠軍賽都 以驚人的速度逐年發展壯大，對推動 中國的高爾夫運動發展和青少年人 才的培養均做出重大貢獻。 此外，沃 爾沃 為客戶、車主 及 潛在客戶精心打造的沃爾沃世界高 爾夫挑戰賽，已在超過25個國家和 地區舉行，各分站的優勝者還將享 有千載難逢的機會，前往世界總決 賽，與歐巡賽冠軍球員組隊角逐總 冠軍。 多年來，沃爾沃通過冠名贊助職 Volvo China Open 2012 | 23

業大賽宣傳品牌的同時，為國際職 業高壇帶來眾多突破性改良，注入 新的活力。早年間，沃爾沃在大幅提 升獎金額的同時首創了多個球員服 務項目，比如為球員提供禮賓車和專 用休息室，大大提升了職業大賽的品 質和標準，使職業巡回賽的面貌得 到徹底改觀，這將成為沃爾沃對職 業高壇的永久貢獻而載入史冊。 正如沃爾沃盛事管理公司總裁 艾瑞森所說：“高爾夫在中國的發展 比其他任何地方都更迅猛。能成為 第一個在中國投資職業高爾夫賽事 的西方品牌，沃爾沃深感驕傲，並將 在這個人口最多的國家繼續深入持 久地推動高爾夫運動。我們高興地 看到各方面都已走上健康發展的軌 道，並深信沃爾沃與高爾夫將繼續 緊密合作、互惠共贏，前途無量。”

A RICH HISTORY, A RICHER FUTURE - VOLVO CHINA OPEN Although golf was almost unheard of in China thirty years ago, the introduction of this royal and ancient game in Guangdong in 1984 has generated widespread interest and a short but very readable history book in which the Volvo China Open is the leading character. Organised by the China Golf Association just a little over a decade after the arrival of golf in the country, the inaugural Volvo China Open in 1995 was a slightly more modest affair than it is today. Volvo China Open 2012 | 24

The first winner was a golfer who had travelled further than most, 30-year-old Paraguayan Raul Fretes, whose 3-shot win earned him a cheque for $72,000 roughly a seventh of the amount that this week’s winner will take home. The event returned to Beijing International for the next two years with 1997 happily producing the first home-grown winner of the title, Cheng Jun, a player noted for his graceful swing. Along with local hero Zhang Lianwei, he became a pioneer for golf in Volvo China Open 2012 | 25

modern China and the pair went on to represent the country in several World Cups. Next stop was Sun Island where Englishman Ed Fryatt became the first European to win before the Volvo China Open found a new home for the next six years, the Shanghai Silport Golf Club. The venue produced a terrific mix of international winners including the host nation’s first golfing superstar, Zhang Lianwei, who the same year became the first Chinese winner on the European Tour. By now,

the first prize had increased to $180,000 still only a fraction of the $500,000 on offer here at Binhai Lake this week.

and two years later expanded to include an International Qualifying tournament for golfers from elsewhere.

There was soon to be a significant elevation in status of the Volvo China Open as for the first time it became a part of the European Tour. The increased importance of the event resulted in an increase in the calibre of entry. In addition, the decision was made to follow the lead of most major national championships and create a moving roster of venues to host the championship. With golf taking off in China, there was a wealth of top quality courses from which to choose.

This year, four such events have been held, each offering three prized places to the leading finishers.The International event was staged at the lovely oceanside Sanya Luhuitou Golf Club on tropical Hainan Island. Prior to this, Southern Qualifying had been contested at the highly-rated Lion Lake Country Club in Guangdong with its huge, Californian-style clubhouse. This was followed by Mid China Qualifying at the spectacular Kauiji Mountains in Zhejiang Province before the final chance, closest to us here in Tianjin, the Northern China qualifier at Beijing’s Jade Island International, a beautiful new course near the capital surrounded by the Wen Yu River.

The 2005 winner was Ryder Cup star Paul Casey, here again this week, who won a play-off with compatriot Oliver Wilson. Since then, the Volvo China Open has visited a number of courses for the first time and attracted ever-greater attention and increasingly competitive fields. A particularly star-studded group assembled at Jinji Lake two years ago which included both the 2010 Ryder Cup captains, Colin Montgomerie and Corey Pavin, as well as Graeme McDowell who went on to win that Summer’s US Open. However, it was reigning USPGA Champion YE Yang from South Korea who emerged victorious with a tremendous score of 15-under-par.

From the past to the future, and there is now one final place in the field which goes to the winner of the Senior Boy’s section in the Volvo China Junior Championship. This event started in 2005 and attracts young golfers from all over China. With the strongest field ever gathered this year, it can only be a matter of time before we see the first Volvo China Open winner then go on to win one of golf’s four Majors whilst still champion. In the meantime, it will be fascinating to see which golfer can head the field on Sunday afternoon and make his own entry in the golfing history books. Will last year’s champion Nicolas Colsaerts become the first to successfully defend his Volvo China Open title?

Such is its growth since those early days that demand for spaces in the Volvo China Open means that as in Britain and the USA, pre-qualifying is now required. This was introduced for home nation players in 2005, Volvo China Open 2012 | 26

豐富的歷史 更豐富的未來 30年前，高爾夫在中國大陸幾 乎無人 知 曉，但 這並沒有妨礙 建國後第一家高爾夫球場於 1 9 8 4 年 在 廣 東 中 山 建 成，從 此，高爾夫 運 動 猶如雨後春筍 在中 國各地 興 起，中 國高爾夫 雖然只有近30年的短短歷史， 但 其 內容卻是豐富多 彩，而沃 爾沃中國公開賽在其中扮演了 舉足輕重的角色。 就在高爾夫進入中國10年後的 19 9 5 年，由中國高爾夫球 協 會主 辦的首屆沃爾沃中國公開賽在北京 國際高爾夫俱樂部舉行。當時的公 開賽遠沒有今天的規模，總獎金只 有40萬美元，但卻開創了中國高爾 夫的先河，首次將國際職業高爾夫 球比賽引入中國。首屆公開賽的冠 軍是30歲的巴拉圭選手勞爾．弗里 茨，他以3桿優勢奪冠，贏得7.2萬

美 元的冠 軍支 票 ——大約是今 年 冠軍獎金額的七分之一。 接下來的兩年賽事繼續在北京 國際高爾夫俱樂部舉行。1997年， 公開賽誕生了首位本土冠軍程軍。 這位以揮桿姿勢優美而著稱的中國 球員和當時的“中國高爾夫一哥” 張連偉一起，成為中國當代高爾夫 運動的領軍人物。兩人曾代表中國 征戰高爾夫世界杯。 1998年公開賽移師上海太陽島 國際高爾夫俱樂部，英格蘭選手愛 德華．菲亞特成為首位在中國公開 賽上奪冠的歐 洲人。之 後，沃爾沃 中國公開賽進入“旭寶時代”，連續 六年落戶上海旭寶高爾夫俱樂部。 在此期間沃爾沃中國公開賽迎來多 個“華麗轉身”，不僅產生6位不同 國籍的冠 軍，包括2 0 0 3年賽 事歷 Volvo China Open 2012 | 28

史上第二位本土冠軍——中國頂級 球星張 連偉，並於2 0 0 4年迎 來 重 大轉折——加入歐洲巡回賽，獎金 總額達到10 0萬美元，冠軍獎金升 至18萬美元。考慮到公開賽日益提 升的國際聲望，同年公開賽組委會 決定讓賽事在中國更多城市舉行， 並與四家球 場簽訂了0 5至0 8年的 承辦協議，分別是深圳高爾夫俱樂 部、北京鴻華國際高爾夫球會、上 海旭寶高爾夫俱樂部和北京C B D 國際高爾夫球會。

2005年，萊德杯球星英格蘭名 將保羅．凱西在延長賽戰勝同胞奧 利佛．威爾森奪冠。時值2010年， 兩位當年的萊德杯隊長科林．蒙哥 馬利和科里．佩文現身蘇州金雞湖 高爾夫俱樂部，在沃爾沃中國公開 賽賽場相遇，同年參賽選手中還有 之後贏得大滿貫賽美國公開賽的北 愛選手格萊莫．麥克道威爾，然而 最後捧起冠軍獎杯的卻是首位贏得 大滿貫賽美國PG A錦標賽冠軍的 亞洲人、韓國名將梁容銀。

球員敞開大門。首屆資格賽設置了 華南、華中和華北三站。兩年後資 格賽進一步擴大範圍，增設國際資 格賽，面向全球的優秀球員，成為 名符其實的“更公開的公開賽”。

成為歐巡賽常規賽 事後，沃爾 沃中國公 開 賽 有了更 加飛 速 的發 展，規 模 逐 年 擴 大、獎 金不 斷 攀 升。時至今年即將在濱海湖上演的 第18屆沃 爾沃中國公開賽的冠 軍 獎金已高達50萬美元。而隨着賽事 規模的擴大和獎金的提升，參賽選 手的陣容也越來越強大。

“秉 承傳統、銳 意 進取”是沃 爾沃中國公開賽恪守的原則，伴隨 賽事一路走來、不斷壯大。

今 年的四 場資格 賽 也先 後登 場。國際資格賽首度離開香港，移 師中國內地，在海南三亞鹿回頭高 爾夫俱樂部舉行，其他三站國內資 格賽相繼於清遠獅子湖鄉村俱樂部 （華南資格賽）、紹興會稽山高爾 夫俱樂部（華中資格賽）和北京翡 翠湖國際高爾夫俱樂部（華北資格 賽）如期舉行，決出總共12位優勝 者入圍本屆沃爾沃中國公開賽。

2005年，沃爾沃中國公開賽借 鑒世界頂級公開錦標賽——英國公 開賽和美國公開賽，建立資格賽機 制，向國內更多優秀的職業、業餘

在多年投資中國職業高爾夫之 後，沃爾沃又將目光放在更長遠的 未來。同樣在2005年，沃爾沃從中 國公開賽的推廣預算中撥出資金， Volvo China Open 2012 | 29

創建了全新的沃爾沃中國青少年冠 軍賽，為培養中國高爾夫的後備力 量再做貢獻。2007年公開賽組委會 再做出決定，將一個寶貴的參賽名 額獎勵給沃爾沃中國青少年冠軍賽 的男子A組冠軍，至今已有5位青少 年冠軍實現夢想，走上中國公開賽 賽場與歐巡賽高手同場競技。 今年，沃爾沃中國公開賽迎 來 賽 事歷史 上的 最 強 參 賽 陣 容。隨 着賽期日益臨近，更多謎底將等待 揭曉：誰將在周日下午舉起冠軍獎 杯？是 否有 更 多的 賽 事 紀 錄將 被 刷新？上屆冠軍比利時球員尼古拉 斯．考賽茨能否抓住改寫沃爾沃中 國公開賽歷史的機會，成為賽事18 年來第一位成功衛冕的前冠軍？ 本周讓我們共同見証。

Our returning champion this week boasts a real sporting pedigree as his great grandfather represented Belgium at basketball and water polo in the 1920 Olympic Games. Known for his big hitting, he won last year’s Volvo China Open at Luxehills, Chengdu, with the best-ever score in the history of the event, a fantastic 24 under par. At this year’s Volvo Golf Champions in South Africa, Colsaerts shot a first-round course record of 64 on his way to a very respectable fourth place finish. He is understandably keen to become the first player ever to defend this title.

The flamboyant and unmistakable Englishman has made something of a name for himself as a master of match play in recent times. In 2010 he won the World Golf Championship event before taking three points out of four at the Ryder Cup. Last year, he went on to victory in the Volvo World Match Play in Spain where he beat world number one Luke Donald in the final. Known for speaking his mind, he has embraced social media and has more than one and a quarter million followers on Twitter. This week, however, he will be keen to let his clubs do the talking for him.

本週歸來的上屆冠軍考賽茨出身真正的運動世家， 他的祖父曾代表比利時參加1920年奧運會的籃球和水 球項目。長打見長的考賽茨，去年在麓山鄉村俱樂部以 負24桿的驚人成績贏得沃爾沃中國公開賽，刷新了賽事 的最低奪冠成績紀錄。在今年南非舉行的沃爾沃高爾夫 冠軍賽，考賽茨首輪創下64桿的球場最低桿紀錄，並以 第4名的優異成績完成比賽。本週他將全力以赴，力爭成 為沃爾沃中國公開賽歷史上第一位衛冕成功的前冠軍。

這位着裝鮮艷且無可挑剔的英格蘭人，近年在比洞 賽上名聲大噪。2010年他贏得了世界高爾夫錦標賽，並 在萊德杯上拿下4分中的3分。去年，他又在西班牙舉行 的沃爾沃世界比洞錦標賽一舉奪冠，決賽中擊敗世界排 名第一的盧克．唐納德。保爾特是社交媒體的紅人，在推 特上擁有125萬粉絲。本週保爾特首次亮相沃爾沃中國 公開賽，期待他有更加令人驚艷的表現。

Back in 2005, the Volvo China Open was held at Shenzhen Golf Club and Casey started the day five shots back. Following a sparkling 65, he finished tied with fellow Englishman Oliver Wilson on 13 under. He held his nerve to win at the first hole of the play-off and is back in China this week looking for more. A fan of extreme sports, Casey was out of action at the start of the year when he injured his right shoulder whilst snowboarding and was sorry not to be able to defend his Volvo Golf Champions title. 2005年在深圳高爾夫俱樂部舉行的沃爾沃中國公 開賽上，決賽開始時凱西仍落後領先選手5桿。經過一輪 精彩發揮，凱西打出驚人的65桿完成比賽，以總成績負 13桿追平同胞奧利佛．威爾森。之後他乘勝追擊，在延 長賽第一洞力克對手奪得冠軍。本週凱西重回中國，力求 有更大的突破。凱西還是一名極限運動愛好者，今年初 在進行單板滑雪時不幸右肩受傷，遺憾地退出沃爾沃高 爾夫冠軍賽的衛冕之戰。

Monty has one of the most impressive golfing CVs in the history of the European Tour. Eight times he has won the Order of Merit, along the way picking up no fewer than 31 tournament victories, an all-time British record. As captain in 2010 of Europe’s winning Ryder Cup team, he added even more to an amazing record in the event in which he is the third highest-ever point scorer. Monty is also something of a Volvo specialist and will this week be competing for his tenth Volvo tour victory, the previous nine stretching all the way back to the Volvo Masters in 1993.

One of the highlights of Hanson’s career came four years ago when he won his national open championship, the SAS Masters in Stockholm, thus becoming the first Swede to capture the title in ten years. Twice a winner in 2010, he subsequently qualified for a place in the winning European team at the Ryder Cup.Was the runner-up in the 2011 Volvo Golf Champions and his best finish in a Major was seventh in last year’s US Open, the same year as his highest finish in the Order of Merit, both finishes an indication that his game is very much heading in the right direction. 四年前漢森的職業生涯迎來了新亮點，他在斯德哥 爾摩贏得了本國的公開錦標賽——北歐航空大師賽，成 為10年來第一位在該項賽事獲勝的瑞典人。2010年的 兩場勝利，讓他獲得了加入歐洲隊徵戰當年萊德杯的資 格。2011年漢森在沃爾沃高爾夫冠軍賽取得亞軍。他在 大滿貫賽中取得的最好成績是去年美國公開賽第7名。 同年漢森的歐巡獎金榜排名也達到個人新高。一切跡象 表明，漢森的職業生涯正朝着正確的方向發展。

Last year he finished in sixth place in the Order of Merit courtesy of two wins in Dubai, the first of which included a hole-in-one in the final round, the second a monster putt on the final green. Renowned for his massive hitting from the tee, one of the very longest on Tour, the exciting young Spaniard is likely to be a serious contender and is sure to entertain the crowds.

歐巡賽獲勝: 1次

Liang Wen Chong announced his arrival to the golfing world by winning the China Amateur Open three times in succession from 1996 and then finishing fourth in the Volvo China Open in 1999 before even turning professional. In 2008 at Royal Birkdale, he became the first Chinese player to make the cut at the Open Championship, and two years ago he finished in 8th place at the US PGA Championship. As the Chinese number one for some time, the spotlight has been on the Zhongshan golfer to see whether he can become just the third home grown player to win his national title and the first since it became a full European Tour event. 從19 9 6年起連續三年贏得中國業余高爾夫球公開 賽，確立了梁文衝在中國高壇的地位。1999年轉為職業 球員之前，梁文衝在沃爾沃中國公開賽取得第4名的佳 績。2008年在皇家伯克戴爾球場，梁文衝成為第一位成 功晉級英國公開賽決賽的中國球員。兩年前他又在美國 PGA錦標賽上取得第8名的優異成績。作為當今的“中 國高爾夫一哥”，這位來自中山的職業選手無疑是關注 的焦點，人們期待他成為賽事歷史上第三位、也是加入 歐巡賽後的第一位贏得沃爾沃中國公開賽桂冠的本土選 手。

A NEW DEVELOPMENT WITH OLD-WORLD CLASS The new eco-tourism resort here at Binhai Lake is just 20 km from downtown Tianjin, and closer still to its international airport. Bordered by the Dongli District to the west and the Tianjin Economic and Technological Development Zoneto the south, it is perfectly situated forvisitors both from the locality and further afield. The club’s President, Li Hao, has already been instrumental in the development of the Volvo China Open, having hosted the event previously at his Beijing CBD and Beijing Honghua Golf Clubs. He welcomed the decision to bring this year’s tournament to another club in his portfolio. “I am delighted to have the opportunity to play a part in my country’s national open golf championship once again. Ever since Beijing Honghua hosted the event back in 2006, the Volvo China Open has grown appreciably and it is great news for the city of Tianjin that the stars of world, Asian and Volvo China Open 2012 | 42

Chinese golf will be on show at Binhai Lake.” The superb, links-style course was designed and built by the award-winning Schmidt-Curley team from the USA under the guidance of their mentor, Pete Dye, one of the greatest golf architects of the modern era and the man responsible for the TPC at Sawgrass which each year hosts the Players Championship on the US Tour. According to Dye, a golf course should meet the needs of both professionals and amateurs. His designs are bold, creative and elegant at the same time as combining safety, amusement and challenge. Indeed, his philosophy very much mirrors Volvo’s own core values of quality, environment and safety. “It’s always a thrill and an honour to have one of your designs selected for a major Tour event, and to have the Volvo China Open come to Binhai Lake is extra special.” The first nine holes of the contrasting South Course opened Volvo China Open 2012 | 43

recently and the remaining nine will open later in the year giving members an excellent choice. Whilst the South offers something for golfers of all standards, it is the tournament-standard North Dye Course that will host this week’s championship. The tees are generally raised offering players a panoramic view of the challenge ahead, and the elevated greens add to both the spectacle and the difficulty. The entire site was until recently a man-made lake. To make construction possible, this was drained and excavated, and the ground that was dug out was used to create the peninsula on which the course now sits.There are no fewer than ten windswept, lakeside holes, and the natural tall-reed area of bulrushes around the clear lake forms a beautiful and enchanting landscape. The club is surrounded by the Huanggang Reservoir which has a water area of over 5 km2 and a unique ecological landscape with all manner of plants and wildlife. As such, it has been recognised

球 場。在皮特．戴看來，一個好的 高爾夫球 場應該能 同時 滿足職 業 和業余球員的需求。他的設計理念 集大膽、創新和優雅於一體，同時 還兼顧安全、娛樂和挑戰性，這恰 與沃 爾沃品牌的核心理 念 —— 品 質、環保、安全不謀而合。“每當自 己設計的球場被選中承辦大型職業 比賽，總是讓人興奮不已。而沃爾 沃中國公開賽能選在濱海湖舉行就 更加特別。”

The large but elegant clubhouse boasts everything the visiting golfer could wish for including a restaurant, a coffee shop, guest rooms, dressing rooms, a sauna andan extensive Pro’ Shop. The elegant and luxurious wooden decorations and furniture in the clubhouse add a further touch of class for club members and their guests.

濱海湖球場共有36洞，本屆公 開賽將在“北戴場”18洞舉行。球 場沿襲純正的林克斯風格，深而大 的 壺 狀 沙 坑、火車 枕 木 的 大 量 應 用，以及長長的發球台都體現了著 名的“戴式風格”。多數 發球台高 起，給球手更開闊的視野，而同樣 升高的果嶺既 美 化 景 觀又增 添難 度。

濱海湖：古老 經典的新詮釋

南 球 場九洞於2 012 年 初正式 開場。余下的南九洞將會在今年晚 些時候開場，屆時將為會員及訪客 提 供總共3 6洞球 場。南球 場全 長 7009碼，果嶺、發球台和球道都是 本特草。在設計風格和佈局上與北 戴場形成鮮明對照，能滿足不同水 平高爾夫球手的需求。

濱海湖高爾夫球會位於濱海湖 生 態 旅 遊度假 區，靠 近天 津 國 際機場，距離天津市區僅20公 里。西接東麗區，南鄰泰達經濟 技術開發區，交通十分便利。 濱海湖球會董事長李皓與沃爾 沃中國公開賽十分有緣，他旗下曾 有 兩座 球 場 承辦過 沃 爾沃中國公 開賽，分別是北京鴻華國際高爾夫 球會和北京CBD國際高爾夫球會。 而今年沃爾沃中國公開賽得以轉戰 天津落戶濱海湖，離不開李總的果 斷決策和傾力支持。“能再次參與 承辦中國的國家高爾夫球公開錦標 賽 我深 感榮幸。自從2 0 0 6年鴻華 球會承辦沃爾沃中國公開賽以來， 賽事的規模有了明顯提升。來自世 界、亞洲和中國的眾多頂級球星將 蒞臨濱海湖，呈現精彩的比賽，這 對天津來說是一個極好的消息。”

整個球場所在地原本是一座巨 大的人工湖。施工中運用大量排水 和挖掘，挖出的土方建成半島，球 場就坐落其上。球場地形變化師法 自然，球道起伏渾然天成、恢宏大 氣，讓球手可以 盡情發揮。廣闊的 水域為揮桿增添樂趣，長年的季候 風更是對球技的極大考驗。 球會周圍被黃港水庫圍繞，水 域面積 超過5 平方公里，天然 植物 和 野 生動物 組 成了獨特的生 態 景 觀，因此這裡已被天津市政府指定 為重要的生態保護區。

濱海湖球場由美國獲獎設計公 司 ——施密 德 - 科里團隊，在 殿 堂 級球場設計大師皮特．戴的指導下 傾情打造，於去年正式開業。皮特． 戴堪稱當今最偉大的高爾夫球場設 計師之一，其代表作包括每年承辦 美 巡賽 球員錦 標賽的T P C 鋸齒草

Course Description and Hole-by-Hole Guide 球場逐洞介紹及攻略

Hole 1

423-yard, Par-4 | 4杆洞，423碼

Hole 4

481-yard, Par-4 | 4杆洞，481碼

A perfect opening hole, his sharp dogleg left demands a player’s ‘A’ game. The hole favours a tee shot to the left as a series of grass hollows flanks the right, but a long waste bunker and lake loom along the entire left hand side of the hole. Perfect execution is needed on the approach to the elevated, narrow green guarded by a deep bunker.

Picturesque, this lengthy dogleg-left requires two perfectly struck shots. From the tee, aggressive players can reduce the distance of the hole by taking on the lake and the left side of the fairway. There is a semi-blind approach from the right half of the fairway but the two-tiered green is largely unprotected except for a vicious pot bunker which sits in the very front.

完美的開場球洞，銳彎的“左狗腿”要求球手發揮出最高水平。由於球道右側分布着一系列草坑，所以開球時應略微瞄向左側，但 要小心沿球道左側的大片廢棄沙坑和湖面。攻果嶺一桿必須做到非常準確，因為高起的窄小果嶺邊有一個極深的沙坑守護。

風景如畫的美麗球洞。這個頗具長度的“左狗腿”四桿洞需要球手連打兩記完美的擊球，才能成功到達果嶺。在發球台上，進攻 型球手可以抄近路挑戰湖水和球道的左側。從球道右半側攻果嶺要面對“半盲式”擊球，但雙層的果嶺周邊大部分沒有甚什障礙—— 除了位於前側的一個危險的壺狀沙坑。

Hole 2

572-yard, Par-5 | 5杆洞，572碼

Hole 5

420-yard, Par-4 | 4杆洞，420碼

Big hitters can shorten the hole by carrying as much of the lake as possible, while others can play safely down the right. The second shot is likely to be a lay-up short of bunkers that flank the entire left side of the hole from the second landing area to the green. Stronger players can try and clear the trouble, leaving an easier approach to the green.

A challenging mid-length hole, this sharp dogleg right offers plenty of excitement. The tee shot tempts players to carry as much of the right side as possible, but they must avoid a large waste bunker which guards that route as well as a collection of bunkers right of the landing area. Left is safer but leads to a semi-blind approach.

開球時，進攻型球手可以盡可能多地飛越湖面，而其他球手則可以選擇朝球道右側打安全球。第二桿可能需要打短球，以躲避球 道左側從第二落球區一直延伸至果嶺的沙坑群。大力球手也可以嘗試直接越過障礙區，為攻果嶺創造有利條件。

距離適中卻很有挑戰性的四桿洞，銳彎“右狗腿”給球手帶來興奮感。球手會盡量向右側大力開球，但是要避開球道右側的大片 廢棄沙坑，同時還要小心落球區右側的沙坑群。球道左側相對較安全，但是攻果嶺擊球有部分盲區。

Hole 3

260-yard, Par-3 | 3杆洞，260碼

Hole 6

593-yard, Par-5 | 5杆洞，593碼

This long Par-3 sits on the northern tip of the property and features panoramic views of the surrounding water. The green is perched above the fairway and is protected by a deep pot bunker. Players can either try for an aerial approach onto the surface, or attempt a right-to-left approach which can run onto the green.

This winding, double-dogleg forces players to navigate cautiously around trouble all the way. The second shot is daunting with bunkers and water right and yet more bunkers left. The putting surface is undulating and is protected by sand on three sides and a pot bunker at the front.

較長的三桿洞，坐落在整個球場的最北部，視野能看到周邊水域的全景。果嶺位於高地，有很深的壺狀沙坑保護。球手可以嘗試 打高拋球攻上果嶺，或者，選擇打一記“從右向左”的小右曲球滾上果嶺。

這個迂迴蜿蜒的“雙狗腿”5桿洞，迫使球手必須非常謹慎地躲避沿途的障礙區。第二桿擊球令人生畏，右側是沙坑和水塘，左側 有更多沙坑。果嶺表面波浪起伏，三面被沙坑包圍，前方還有一個壺狀沙坑。

Volvo China Open 2012 | 46

Course Description and Hole-by-Hole Guide 球場逐洞介紹及攻略

Hole 7

374-yard, Par-4 | 4杆洞，374碼

Hole 10

374-yard, Par-4 | 4杆洞，374碼

A fun, exciting, risk-reward Par-4. In the right conditions, big hitters can go for the green. For most golfers, however, from anywhere on the fairway accuracy is vital for the second shot as the green features bold contouring. This makes controlling the exact distance of the approach vital if par or better is to be achieved.

A spectacular start to the back-nine, this slight dogleg right allows golfers to hit driver, 3-wood or long iron from the tee. The landing area is guarded by a collection of bunkers short and right as well as two bunkers long and left. The green, protected by bunkers on the right, sits perched above the fairway and favours an approach from the left.

這是一個既有趣又令人興奮的短四桿洞，風險與回報並存。如果條件良好，長打球手甚至可以直接開球攻果嶺。然而，對於大多 數球手來說，從球道的任何位置攻擊果嶺，準確性都是至關重要的，因為果嶺表面起伏較大，要想打出標準桿或更低的成績，精確地 控制攻果嶺一桿的距離至關重要。

景色壯觀的後九洞起始洞，呈輕微右狗腿狀，球手可以選擇1號木、3號木或長鐵桿開球。落球區右側附近有沙坑群把守，左側也 有兩個長沙坑。高起的果嶺右側有沙坑保護，從球道左側攻果嶺效果更好。

Hole 8

246-yard, Par-3 | 3杆洞，246碼

The tee shot on the final Par-3 is daunting, with water and marsh flanking the entire right side of the hole and also waiting behind the green. Protecting the putting surface are two bunkers short and an additional pot bunker behind, all of which forces the golfer to step up and hit the perfect tee shot. 上半場的最後一個三桿洞，開球的難度很大，球道右側至果嶺後方遍布水塘和濕地。果嶺前側由兩個沙坑護衛，後側還有一個壺 狀沙坑，所有這一切都要求球手必須擊出精准完美的開球。

Hole 9

484-yard, Par-4 | 4杆洞，484碼

Hole 11

392-yard, Par-4 | 4杆洞，392碼

A perplexing hole, this sharp dogleg left presents players with options. Conservative players can either play short and left or carry their tee shot over the right hand fairway bunkers. More aggressive players can attempt to carry the left hand traps, significantly reducing the distance to the hole and providing a less-guarded approach. The elevated green sits at a sharp left-to-right angle, falling away, and is protected by two deep bunkers. 複雜的銳彎左狗腿洞，給球手提供多種選擇。保守型球手可以選擇向球道左側打短球，也可以向右側擊球飛越沙坑。進攻型球手可以 嘗試挑戰球道左側的沙坑，大大減少下一桿攻果嶺的距離和障礙。高於球道的果嶺呈自左向右的銳角，並向後傾斜，由兩個深沙坑守護。

Hole 12

575-yard, Par-5 | 5杆洞，575碼

There are water and waste bunkers down the entire right side of the hole, while fairway bunkers protect the left. The approach shot into the green is also demanding as the green is surrounded by bunkers to the right and behind, as well as a pot bunker eating into the front left corner.

The first encounter with the Bin Hai Lake. Golfers tempted to cut across the corner of the marsh must avoid a treacherous waste bunker. Smart golfers will aim for the right half of the fairway and benefit from a slope which can increase distance. Following a lay-up, the approach is very tricky as the multi-tiered green is elevated 3m above the fairway.

這整個球道右側被水障礙區和廢棄沙坑佔據，而左側則有球道沙坑把守。攻果嶺擊球同樣不輕鬆，因為果嶺右側和後方圍繞着 沙坑，左前角也被一個壺狀沙坑侵蝕。

第一個比鄰濱海湖的球洞，那些試圖走捷徑直攻濕地拐角的球手必須躲避危險的廢棄沙坑。有經驗的球手會瞄准球道右側擊 球，借助一個陡坡增加距離。第二桿需打短球，之後的攻果嶺擊球非常棘手，因為果嶺表面多層疊，且比球道高出3米。

Hole 13

287-yard, Par-3 | 3杆洞，287碼

Hole 16

199-yard, Par-3 | 3杆洞，199碼

A long, daunting Par-3. A perfectly struck tee shot is required to reach the green which falls away from front-to-back and is protected on both sides by a combination of hollows, pot bunkers and a large waste bunker along the entire right side of the hole.

A stunning Par-3, this mid-length hole demands an accurate tee shot to hit the surface. The left side of the hole is extremely well protected with a combination of lake and a series of bunkers which flank the entire left side of the fairway and green. The right side is not safe either, as a deep, punishing pot bunker swallows up anything short and right.

令人望而生畏的長距離三桿洞。需要完美的一桿開球攻上表面自前向後傾斜的果嶺。果嶺兩邊分布着草坑、壺狀沙坑，以及沿着 整個球道右側的大片廢棄沙坑。

極美的3桿洞，需要精准地將球開上果嶺。整個球道和果嶺左側被湖和一連串的沙坑佔據，。右側也不安全，壺狀沙坑時刻等待 吞下打短或者偏右的擊球。

Hole 14

498-yard, Par-4 | 4杆洞，498碼

A massive hole, this sharp dogleg-right requires a golfer’s best game. A tee shot down the right-centre helps reduce the distance, but must avoid the right hand fairway bunkers. The approach is wide open and permits golfers to have a go, as this “turtle back” shaped green is elevated well above the fairway and unprotected on all sides except for a menacing pot bunker hidden behind. 大氣磅礡、角度刁鑽的右狗腿洞，非常考驗球手的球技。開球落在球道右中部附近可以減少下一桿距離，但是必須避開右側的球 道沙坑。攻果嶺一桿非常開闊，球手不必有太多顧慮。 “龜背”形果嶺地勢高於球道，兩邊沒有障礙區，只在果嶺後方暗藏一個險惡 的壺狀沙坑。

Hole 17

An exciting long Par-4, this hole offers various routes to the green. Featuring a split fairway, you can either go right leaving a long way home, or go left and take on the lake. The approach is difficult as the narrow green is protected by a left greenside bunker as well as a blistering of pot bunkers and grass hollows which guard the right. 令人興奮的四桿洞，富有特色的雙球道，給球手提供多種球路選擇。球手可以向右擊球留下較長的攻果嶺距離，或者向左擊球挑 戰湖水。攻果嶺擊球的難度較高，因為較狹窄的果嶺左邊有沙坑，右側是草坑和壺狀沙坑。

Hole 18 Hole 15

469-yard, Par-4 | 4杆洞，469碼

630-yard, Par-5 | 5杆洞，630碼

390-yard, Par-4 | 4杆洞，390碼

The first of three consecutive lakeside holes, this short Par-4 provides plenty of options. From the tee players can hit safely down the right side of the fairway. Stronger players can hit directly towards the green, but need to execute a perfect drive to the landing area just short of the putting surface which is protected by bunkers left and a pot bunker right.

A tough finishing hole that demands excellent play in order to provide a scoring opportunity. This long, intimidating Par5 is a true 3-shotter. The tee shot means avoiding a lake along the right whilst not straying too far left into the rough. The next landing area is bottlenecked by waste bunkers on both sides, and the approach into the green is also difficult as it tilts sharply from back-to-front and is protected by bunkers on the left.

這個短四桿洞是三個連續湖邊球洞中的第一洞，有很多擊球選擇。可以從發球台朝球道右側打安全球。大力球手可以直接朝果嶺 開球，但球需要精准地落在緊鄰果嶺前方的落球區，小心左側的沙坑和右側的壺狀沙坑。

高難度的結束洞，需要球手完美髮揮去爭取最後的得分機會。令人望而生畏的超長五桿洞，三桿上果嶺是必須的。第一桿開球既 要避開右側的湖水，又要防備左側的長草區。第二桿的落球區因兩側的廢棄沙坑而變得狹窄。攻果嶺一桿同樣艱難，果嶺表面自後向 前明顯傾斜，左側有沙坑保護。

VOLVO AND OSCAR JACOBSON - the perfect fit Golf is a sport synonymous with tradition and time-served style, and the same can also be said of Swedish clothing manufacturer Oscar Jacobson which four years ago relaunched itself with a new owner, a new board of directors and a new design team. Whilst remaining dedicated to its heritage, the company is now building on this by adding a modern twist. Oscar Jacobson has been involved in golf clothing for around a quarter of its 109year history and it is now concentrating on pairing its classic tailoring with a greater emphasis on fashion whilst using new technical materials that offer both better functionality and greater durability. In order to identify more with golfers around the world, the company has engaged the support of Fredrik Jacobson, one of Sweden's most successful international players. According to the world top-50 star, "I have great Volvo China Open 2012 | 52

confidence in Oscar Jacobson as an international label and I want to help introduce the brand to more markets. I love Swedish design and Swedish quality, so it makes sense for me. The new golf collection feels fantastic to play in, and I like to dress well off the course as well." Commenting on the collaboration between Volvo and Oscar Jacobson, Per Ericsson, President of Volvo Event Management said, “We were looking for the correct clothing partner and with Oscar Jacobson, we have established a mutually Volvo China Open 2012 | 53

beneficial partnership across all our events. It is a perfect fit for both parties.” Gunnar Hedendahl, Sales Manager Golf, Oscar Jacobson, added, “For us it is especially exciting to be present at the Volvo China Open, since we are now developing our sales and distribution network in China. It’s a great opportunity to showcase our brand at such a fantastic venue as the Binhai Lake Golf Club.” Not too many people will know that OJ also provides Volvo with parts of the interior for its new ‘Concept You’ car; an exclusive woollen fabric which is used for the door panels and the back of the front seats. However, it will come as no surprise to anyone that when it comes to golf and clothing, Volvo and Oscar Jacobson are extremely well suited.

高爾夫是一項講究歷史傳統和 時代 風尚的 運 動，這與瑞典 著 名服裝品牌Oscar Jacobson （簡稱OJ）的理念不謀而合。四 年前，OJ有了新的主人、新的董 事會和新的設計團隊。在弘揚品 牌傳統的同時，OJ也正努力為 產品增添新的時尚元素。

沃爾沃與OJ 完美搭配 ，互利共贏

在OJ品牌109年的歷史里，有四 分之一的年代與高爾夫運動有關。 如今，OJ正致力於將傳統的剪裁工 藝與流行時尚緊密結合，同時運用 功能性更好、更耐用的高新科技材 料。 為了讓全世界更多的高爾夫愛好 者認識OJ品牌，公司邀請瑞典最成 功的國際球星之一——弗里迪克． 雅各布森出任其代言人。這位世界排 名前50的球員表示：“作為一個國際 知名品牌，我對OJ有極大的信心， 希望能協助將這個品牌介紹到更多 的國際市場。我個人十分鐘愛瑞典設 計和瑞典品質，因此為OJ做代言更 有意義。最新一季的高爾夫系列產 品很棒，穿上打球十分舒適，即使在 球場之外我也很喜歡穿。” 談到沃爾沃與OJ的合作，沃爾 沃盛事管理公司總裁艾瑞森說：“我 們一直在尋求合適的指定服裝贊助 商，通過與OJ在所有沃爾沃賽事的 合作，我們之間建立起了互利共贏 的伙伴關係，對雙方來說都是一次完 美的搭配。” O J 公司高爾夫 部 銷 售 經 理甘 納．赫登達補充說：“對我們來說， 能在沃爾沃中國公開賽期間展示我 們的產品特別令人興奮，因為我們正 在中國建立銷售網絡。這是一次極 好的展示OJ品牌的機會，而且又是 在濱海湖高爾夫球會這樣一個絕佳 的地點。” 很多人並不知道，OJ還為沃爾 沃的新型概念車提供內飾，一種獨 特的羊毛質地的面料被用於車門和 前座靠背。不過，只要提起高爾夫與 服裝，沃爾沃和OJ是公認的最佳組 合，可謂錦上添花、相得益彰。 Volvo China Open 2012 | 54

TIANJIN - A Port for the Emperor Tianjin is one of four municipalities directly under the Central Government of China. Despite its long history and wealth of economic and cultural pursuits, it is perhaps not so famous as the others which include Shanghai and Beijing.Situated in China’s north-east, it is both an international harbour and a centre of commerce which prides itself on its historical and cultural heritage. In ancient times, sea water receded from this area, and the land was then crossed by Huang He, the second longest river in China which is also known as the

Volvo China Open 2012 | 56

Yellow River. More than 5,000 kilometres long, it derives its name from the high content of sand, and even today, ancient seashell dykes can still be found, remnants of the ancient coastline. The name Tianjin, translated variously as ‘port for the emperor’ or ‘port for the heavenly capital’, was first adopted in the Ming Dynasty. 450 years later, it was opened as a trading port in 1860, and in the1930s, it became the largest industrial and commercial city in the north of China. In1978, as part of a national policy to reform and open up to the outside world, Tianjin became one of the first coastal cities in China to do so.

Volvo China Open 2012 | 57

There are many historical sites here such as the Dule Temple in Jixian with its large wooden buildings from the Sui Dynasty which have existed for over 1,000 years. Nearby is the Huangya Pass, a section of the Great Wall of China on a steep mountain ridge. The beautiful Panshan Mountain is sinuous and tortuous and is also known as Panlong Mountain - coiling dragon mountain. Tianjin is a birth place of culture and arts. Various performing artsgroups cover a wide range of activities including Peking opera, Pingju opera, drama, singing and dancing and classical music. In the museums

and memorials of Tianjin there are nearly 60,000 specimens of cultural relics, some with national treasure status.The local artisan work is varied and interesting; the colourful Yangliuqing New Year Paintings, the vivid clay figurine sculptures of Zhang, and the impressive and ornate kites of WeiYuantai. With regard to cuisine, the local Eight Great Bowls should really be the 16 Great Bowls as these dishes have been further categorised as the smooth Eight and the rough Eight. The

smooth are dishes such as fish fillet, boiled shrimp and Sichuan shredded meat, whilst the rough includes fried shrimp, boiled chicken and seared carp. Another local favourite is Four Great Stews, actually a range which includes chicken, fish, mutton, duck and sea cucumber soup. Goubuli Baozi (steamed stuffed bun) is one of the oldest snacks and Shiba Jie Mahua (fried dough twist) is a sweet smelling, crispy treat. As you would expect from an area engaging with the outside world, international cuisine is also widely available.

Step back thirty years and golf in China was non-existent, an alien concept, a dream for some of what may lie ahead. However, a closer look reveals that the sport is perhaps not just a thing of the future, but also of the past. The Autumn Banquet is a scroll from the Ming Dynasty that dates back to 1368 and shows a member of the Chinese Imperial court taking part in ‘chui wan’, swinging what appears to be a golf club at a small ball with the aim of sinking it into a hole. Possibly, this modern, global game has its origins in China. The first golf course in China was built in Guangdong's Zhongshan City and designed by the legendary Arnold Palmer. Zhongshan Hot Spring opened for play in 1984, since when it is estimated that more than 600 golf courses have sprung up

throughout the country at such a rate that no-one really knows quite how many are currently open for play. In every part of this vast and geographically varied country, there are courses of every style built by an array of designers from all over the world.

Genworth is a global insurance and wealth management business. The power of our promises help people secure their finances and look after their families and futures. Because our promises protect the precious moments that matter in people’s lives we aim to excel in the design of our product range, in our relationships with our partners and in our service delivery.

One of the advantages enjoyed by a nation new to golf is that it inherits few bad habits from the past. There are no preconceptions of what is right and few parents wanting or able to teach bad swings to their children. With golf returning to the Olympics in just four years and the sport’s popularity broadening globally all the time, it must surely only be a matter of time before a Chinese golfer breaks through into the highest levels of the world rankings and wins his first Major. With this in mind, there is a hope and expectation in the young golfers of China to take the game to the next level both here and internationally. Supporting this, the

Volvo China Junior Championship has become one of the most important events at this level and offers the glittering prize for the senior boy’s champion to go on and play in the Volvo China Open itself. This year, it is the turn of Chen Ze Shan Chuan from Beijing, who won at the Stone Bay Resort in Shandong last October in what was Volvo’s 50th sponsorship in partnership with the China Golf Association. According to the 15-yearold, “I am very excited to be the winner of the Volvo China Junior Championship - to play in the Volvo China Open with a field of top stars is a dream come true - it will be amazing to be in the same

competition as great players such as Liang Wenchong and Paul Casey.” The event also encourages girls into the game and Wang Xi Yue from Guangdong, 16, beat Ye Zi Qi from Liaoning Province on the last green of a thrilling final. Wang was understandably thrilled, “To be Volvo China Junior Championship Senior Girl’s winner makes me very proud and I am so excited to be the national champion of China in golf.” The golfing eyes of the nation will be wishing Chen Ze Shan Chuan the very best as this week he steps up a level to take on some of the best golfers in the world.

中國高爾夫的 前世今生 30年前，高爾夫運動在中國大 陸 是 一片 空 白。然 而，如 果 仔 細研究這項運動在中國的歷 史，並非只有未來，還有過去。 一 張可追 溯 到13 6 8 年 的 明代 古 畫《 秋 宴 圖 》，顯 示 出 官 家 在 庭 院 裡 玩“ 捶 丸”遊 戲 的 場 景，它是中 國 古 代 球 戲 之一， 以棒 擊小球進 洞 定 勝 負，與 現 代 高 爾 夫 球 相 似。“ 捶 丸”在 宋、元 朝 代 十 分 流 行，到了 明 代 雖不 如 前代 那 樣普及，但仍 在上 層人士中流行。有人據 此 推 斷 —— 高 爾 夫 球 起 源 於 中 國。

建國後，中國大陸建成的第一 家高爾夫球 場，是19 8 4 年由高爾 夫 傳 奇人物 阿 諾 德．帕 爾 瑪 設 計 的中山溫 泉高爾夫 俱樂 部。近3 0 年的時間里，高爾夫在中國有如雨 後 春 筍 蓬 勃 發 展，如 今 全 國已有 球場數量超過6 0 0家，具體開業的 球 場 數 沒 人說得 清 楚。在中國 廣 袤的土地上，可以找到來自世界各 地的 設 計師 打造 的 各種風格 的球 場。 高爾夫新興發展國家的優勢之 一，是不受不良傳統的制約，沒有 固步自封的思維定式，從而有着巨 大的發展空間和潛力。隨着高爾夫 在4年之後重 返 奧 運會，以及高爾 夫 運 動在全 球方興未艾的 流行 勢 頭，相信在不久的將來，將會有中 國球員突出重圍、躋身世界排名前 列，並贏得首個大滿貫賽。

我 們 有 理 由 希 望 並 期 待，未 來中國的 新生代 球員在國內外 使 這 項 運 動 達 到 一 個 新 的高 度。因 此，沃爾沃打造了高端的青少年賽 事— —沃爾沃中國青少年冠軍賽， 並拿出沃 爾沃中國公 開 賽 的一 個 寶貴的參賽名額，獎 勵給男子A組 冠 軍，為 培 養 中 國 高 爾 夫 運 動 的 後備軍助力。今年獲得這一榮譽的 是來自北京的陳澤山川，他在去年 10月於山東 榮 成石島旅 遊度假村 舉行的第7屆沃爾沃中國青少年冠 軍賽上贏得男子A組冠軍，而這場 比賽已經是沃爾沃與中高協合作， 在中國冠名贊助 的第50場大型比 賽。 本屆青少年冠 軍賽的女子A組 選手、來自廣東的王茜月在決賽最 後一洞 果嶺 擊敗 對手葉子琪 艱 難 獲 勝。她說：“能贏得沃爾沃中國 Volvo China Open 2012 | 67

青少年冠軍賽女子A組的冠軍讓我 深感興奮。我很自豪能成為中國青 少年高爾夫冠軍中的冠軍。” 15歲的陳澤山川表示：“能作 為沃 爾沃中國青少年冠 軍 賽 的冠 軍參加沃爾沃中國公開賽，與歐巡 賽頂級球員同場競技，真是令人興 奮，就像美夢成真— —對我來說， 能和梁文衝、保羅．凱西參加同一 場比賽將是一次難忘的經歷。” 本週，國內的球迷們將關注並 祝 願 小 將陳澤山川在比賽 中發揮 出自己的水平，邁上更高的國際舞 台。

BEGINNER'S GUIDE TO GOLF WATCHING Now into its 18th season, the Volvo China Open has grown into an open championship worthy of the name, and, whilst many of our spectators may be regular players and / or watchers of golf, others may be new to the sport.

by viewing on the giant screen in the Volvo China Open Public Village.

Elementary Etiquette n Professional players perform at their best when

The following Beginner’s Guide to Golf Watching is designed to keep you on course with some helpful hints that will maximise the experience of visiting the Volvo China Open.

Getting Started

there are no disturbances to distract them, so please switch-off all mobile phones and avoid talking and cheering before and during a player’s routine. Feel free to cheer once the golfer has played his shot. n Please remain outside the roped-off areas and

n Upon arrival at Tianjin Binhai Lake Golf Club,

pick-up a Programme and a Daily Draw Sheet and familiarise yourself with the general layout of the area. n The Daily Draw Sheet provides the names,

starting times and tees of each and every player, so you can follow your favourites. n For an up-close-and-personal view of the players,

we recommend the Practice Range and Practice Putting Green.

Watching Brief

follow the guidance of Stewards and Marshals. n Taking photographs / shooting video using

cameras or mobile phones is restricted to the Practice Range and Practice Putting Greens; most players are happy to pose for photographs with spectators, but only after their round is finished. n Please do not pick up or touch a player’s golf ball

on the course; it could cost him penalty shots – and money. n Children are welcome at the Volvo China Open,

but only when accompanied by adults, who are requested to keep kids under control. n When disposing of rubbish, please use the

n There are two ways of watching a major golf

championship; either pick a group of players and follow them round the golf course, or, alternatively, select a good vantage point and watch all the players come through. n Keen spectators may ‘mix-and-match,’ follow

some favourites for a while before taking a break and watching one particular hole; Par-3’s make for especially good viewing. n You can follow the scores of each match on the

portable scoreboards carried with each group, whilst the overall state-of-play can be found on the leaderboards located around the course. n Towards the end of each day’s play, the 18th

green makes for an excellent and atmospheric vantage point as the players complete their rounds. n Take a break and catch all the action over lunch

recycling bins provided. n Players are normally happy to sign autographs,

normally when they come off the 18th green at the end of their round but never before and during a round.

Handy Hints n It is suggested that golf shoes, walking shoes or

trainers are worn when walking around the golf course. n Please wear a sun hat and use a proprietary sun

cream suitable for springtime in North East China, SPF 15 or above; this is especially important for children. n Professional golfers ensure they are well hydrated

throughout their round, and so should you; don’t forget to take a bottle of water out on the course with you.

觀賽指南 n You may find using a pair of binoculars helpful in

watching your favourite players close-up. n Food and beverages are available in the Volvo

China Open Public Village but you are at liberty to bring your own. n The Volvo China Open Public Village also offers

a range of retail outlets and fun things to try out, including the chance to try your hand at golf. 沃 爾沃中國公 開 賽 迎 來了第1 8 個年 頭，已經 成 為一項 知名的國家高爾夫球公開錦 標賽。比賽 現場 會聚 集很多經常參加或 觀看高爾夫球比賽的資深球 友，但也不乏一些 剛 剛 接 觸高爾夫的初學 者和 普 通 觀眾。 以下的觀賽 指南中，將 提 供一些有用的建議，讓 觀眾 更 好地體 驗沃爾沃中國公開賽，在濱海湖球 場 度過愉快時光。

HEART OF GLASS 晶瑩的心 On Sunday afternoon, the winner of the Volvo China Open will walk away not only with a handsome cheque, but also with an equally handsome trophy. 本週日下午，沃爾沃中國公開賽的優勝者將會帶著一張巨額冠軍支票 離開，同時帶走的還有一座精美的獎杯。

Leading Swedish designer Åsa Jungnelius was commissioned to design it just two years ago by Orrefors Kosta Boda, one of the world’s leading producers of glassware and art glass which specialises in work that is vibrant, bold, innovative and provocative. By chance, this will be three months to the day after the Volvo Golf Champions was won by emerging South African star Brandon Grace, following a thrilling play-off with local legends Ernie Els and Retief Goosen. Grace was thrilled to win Ludvig Löfgren’s beautiful leaf-shaped design which is actually the latest addition to Volvo’s treasure chest of trophies from Orrefors Kosta Boda. He takes possession from Paul Casey who is in the field here this week and who said after his win last year that the trophy would “take pride of place in my very modern home.”

would be special to put my name on it as well.” Poulter is here this week and with his obvious interest in fashion and design, it will be fascinating to see if he can add another Kosta Boda instant classic to his impressive trophy collection. 兩 年 前，瑞 典 著 名 的 設 計 師

Åsa Jungnelius按照世界著名玻璃

工藝品牌 Orrefors Kosta Boda 的 要求設計了這款獎杯，它沿襲了品 牌的一貫風格 — —活力、大膽、創 新和啟迪。 就在三個月前結束的沃爾沃高 爾夫冠軍賽上，南非新秀布蘭頓． 格瑞斯在 延長賽 戰 勝同胞 兼高爾 夫偶像級人物厄尼．埃爾斯和雷鐵 夫．古森，捧起了有着獨特 樹葉造 型的精美 Orrefors Kosta Boda獎 杯，它由藝術家 Ludvig Löfgre精心 設 計，是 沃 爾沃 賽 事 獎 杯 中的 一 枝獨秀。去年的冠軍保羅．凱西在 捧起獎杯時曾由衷地表示喜愛，稱 “要 安 放 在自己 現 代 風格 家中的 顯 要位 置”。本週 保羅．凱西將出 現在濱海湖的賽場上。

沃 爾沃賽 事皇 冠 上的第三 顆 珠 寶，是 由 獲 獎設 計 師 Ingegerd Råman 為沃 爾沃世界比洞錦 標賽 設計的獎杯，去年由英格蘭球星伊 恩．保爾特 摘得。決賽前夕，保爾 特 的兒子盧 克要求爸 爸贏 下這 座 獎 杯，作 為 特 殊 的 生日禮物 送 給 他。“決賽當天也是我兒子盧克的 生日，站在第一洞，看着獎 杯上鐫 刻 的 那 些 前 冠 軍 的 名字，我 想 如 果今 天之 後 我的名字也被 刻 在上 面，將是多麼有意義。” 以服裝 亮麗和對設計頗 感 興 趣 而 聞 名 的 保 爾特，本 週 也 將 參 加沃爾沃中國公開賽。我們拭目以 待，看看這位衣着養眼的球星，能 否在 周日舉 起 另一座 同 樣 養 眼的 Kosta Boda獎杯。

The third of Volvo’s crown jewels is award-winning designer Ingegerd Råman’s trophy for the Volvo World Match Play Championship, which was won last year by English star Ian Poulter. Prior to the final, his son Luke asked dad to win the trophy for him as a special birthday present. “I looked at the names of the previous winners on the first tee, and on Luke’s birthday I thought it Volvo China Open 2012 | 70
