Just 10 months ago, Haotong Li was seriously considering walking away from golf.
On Sunday, the 26-year-old walked off the course at Golfclub Munchen Eichenried with one of the great emotional sporting celebrations after ending his four-and-a-half year wait for his third win on the DP World Tour.And what a way to end it -- after a nail-biting final day, Li sunk the 40-foot birdie putt of a lifetime to beat Thomas Pieters in the playoff and clinch victory at the BMW International Open in Munich.
Last year, he missed the cut in 13 of his 16 tournament appearances, with his joint 14th place finish at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship in October his only top 60 result of the season. At his lowest position during 2021, he was ranked 542nd in the world.Two top-six outings in February and April respectively ensured a much better start to 2022, before Li set a new peak with a scintillating course-record 10-under 62 on the opening round in Munich on Thursday.
