While many players are too scared to speak out against one tour or the other, China number one Liang Wenchong has become OneAsia's poster boy. Liang made his name on the Asian Tour but espoused OneAsia's value after winning last season's order of merit, thanks to victories in the Luxehills Chengdu Open and Thailand Open, the runner-up spot in the Indonesia Open and good finishes in the Midea China Classic, Australian Open and Australian PGA Championship that earned him US$560,737, far more than possible on Asian Tour-only events. Liang's decision to play Down Under late last year highlighted the deteriorating situation as no Chinese players were among the field for the Asian Tour's season-ending Masters in Hua Hin, Thailand. 'This is something that China supports and that gives me even more pride to take this trophy home,' the former Asian Tour number one said after winning the OneAsia order of merit. 'This win will be encouraging for the development of golf at home. 'This is all about building a better tour and getting the countries together to have better opportunities for younger players, so that they have a better chance for their future. 'If younger players want to improve, they need to come to more of these events, and play overseas with other professionals. I have learnt a lot from playing with Australia's leading players. This is the path they need to take to get better.' The benefits of playing for more riches on OneAsia are obvious. While Liang won more than US$560,000, Japan's Tetsuji Hiratsuka won three times in nine starts on the Asian Tour and earned US$333,092.
