Past champions, amateur hopeful ready for Beijing Golf Chanllenge (3)

While amateur Liu is skipping this week's event in attempting to qualify for the U.S. Women's Open, another amateur is looking to make her mark.

Tiffany Chan, a 19-year-old from Hong Kong, is back in the region for the summer after spending a year at Oklahoma's Redlands Community College on a golf scholarship. She plans to transfer to Florida's Daytona State College for the next school year and then take a crack at the U.S. LPGA Tour qualifying school next year.

She goes into the tournament having recently returned from the United States where she failed to advance at a 36-hole qualifier for the upcoming U.S. Women's Open.

"This is my third pro event and second start on China LPGA Tour, so I am familiar with many of these players," said the teenager. "We competed with each other in amateur events over the years. I know some of them are great, so I set a much more reasonable goal for myself. I won't say that I am targeting a win, but top-five is realistic. This golf course is not easy with the big greens that demand accurate approach shots."

The fifth year of the China LPGA Tour features 10 events, culminating in the Hyundai China Ladies Open this December in Xiamen, Fujian province.
