Wu Ashun won the Dutch Open and won the third championship of the European Tour, becoming China's first person
On September 16th, Beijing time, the final round of the European Tour Netherlands Open held a thrilling championship race. Chinese player Wu Ashun, who was once behind by 3 strokes, finally achieved a comeback and won the championship with a total score of -16 strokes, one stroke advantage!
Wu Ashun set off in the second to last group. He had a good start today, catching birds in the 2nd and 4th holes one after another. However, after swallowing Baiji in Cave 7, Wu Ashun did not rebound to catch the bird for a long time.
At this point, Chris Wood, the leader after the 54 holes, began to take the lead. Although he swallowed a bogey as soon as he went out, he caught four birds from holes 2 to 11 and did not swallow a bogey. His score reached -16 at one point, with a lead of 3 in his hand. But he swallowed Shuangbaiji in Cave 12
Wu Ashun also put in full force in the later moments, catching birds one after another on the 14th and 15th holes, and catching up with Wood! On the 17th hole, Ashun hit the green with his second shot and entered the sand pit at the edge of the green. He beautifully pushed everything to save Par. When entering the 18th hole (Par5), Wu Ashun and Wood both scored a score of -15.
Wu Ashun took the lead in taking the ball, steadily putting it on the fairway. From 237 yards away, he chose to attack the green directly, and the ball flew straight and beautifully towards the flagpole! Playing a precise shot in such a tense situation is really exciting!
Unfortunately, Wu Ashun's eagle push was slightly to the right and stopped at the entrance of the hole. After receiving the tap in birdie, Wu Ashun finished the game with a score of -16 and waited for Wood, who was in the leading group.
Wood had no other choice, his second shot was also a direct attack on the green, but his ball landed further than Wu Ashun's ball. The Wooden Eagle had too much thrust, but the little bird didn't make it back. Wu Ashun won!
This is Wu Ashun's third European Tour championship and the first championship since the 2016 Austrian Open.
