China Open title begins with a 1.5 million prize

Three of the favorites for the $1.5 million Volvo China Open title met the media at Hidden Grace Golf Club in Shenzhen on Wednesday.

Former US Amateur champion Andy Ogletree is the current Order of Merit (OOM) leader on The International Series and gave his thoughts on his current form, the challenging golf course and his chances of extending his OOM lead with a high-place finish here this weekend.

"I have been playing really good golf this past year and I have a lot of confidence coming into this tournament," said Ogletree, 25. "It's my first time here in China and I am looking forward to seeing the front nine - I saw the back nine yesterday and loved the golf course and felt the conditions were really good.
