6 years agoHaoTong Li kept his scorching momentum rolling by posting his third straight top-15 result, this time finishing in a share of 11th place in China. The WGC-HSBC is a massive event for Li with it being in his home country, and the two-time European Tour winner showed true grit to claw out the finish he did. Li started Thursday five-over par through his first eight holes but found some rhythm and played his final 64 holes at nine-under par. After jumping from 134th in the world to 58th from 2016 to 2017, the 23-year-old has plateaued slightly in 2018 and has only climbed up eight spots in the past year to his new ranking of 50th. However, Li continues to show his immense upside that he possesses, and 2019 has the possibility to culminate with another significant jump in the rankings.--Spencer Aguiar - RotoBaller
