Past champions, amateur hopeful ready for Beijing Golf Chanllenge (2)

"It was a good experience to see players at the top of their games because right now my game isn't strong," she admitted. "But I will try my best and hopefully I can come together on time and win again."

If Lu can't put up a challenge in the tournament, several past CLPGA Tour tournament winners are in this week's field looking to claim the 75,000-yuan first prize. Among them are Chinese veterans Yang Taoli and Yang Hongmei, Thailand's Ajira Nualraksa, winner of the Shanghai Classic, and Ningbo Challenge winner Lin Tzu-chi of Chinese Taipei.

"This is my first trip to Orient Pearl and I had a familiar feeling in seeing this golf course for the first time. This is a North American-style course with tree-lined fairways," said the 22-year-old Lin who beat Yang Taoli in a second-hole playoff in Ningbo.

"The back nine will be key for me this week. I always hit a draw off the tee, but here on the back nine you really need to cut your drives to get in a good position and angle to the green. I have to find a way to overcome it, especially with the 18th hole. But I have a great chance this week as my confidence is good."
