Guan Tianlang is expected to play a major role in getting more Chinese youngsters involved in golf.

The 14-year-old from Guangdong was the only amateur player at the Dongfeng Nissan Cup at the CTS Tycoon Club in Shenzhen.

According to Cheng Jun, assistant captain of Team China, members of the lineup were selected due to their domestic rankings, but Guan earned his berth through outstanding international performances.
