China's great golf hope Guan Tianlang aiming to win another golden ticket to the Masters in Hong Kong

Chinese prodigy Guan Tianlang is trying to lead a normal life going to school in Guangzhou but it’s that time when everything changes again for “one of the world’s best amateur golfers”.

Guan captured the world’s attention by becoming the youngest player to compete and make the cut at the Masters, courtesy of winning the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship (AAC) in Thailand in 2012.

The 16-year-old is determined to return to Augusta National by winning this year’s edition of the AAC, which will be played for the first time in Hong Kong at the Clearwater Bay Golf & Country Club from October 1-4.

“The AAC is the best amateur event in the region and the most important tournament to me every year. I have always done well at this tournament and it is very special to me,” Guan said.

“The experience at the Masters was two years ago and I am eager to win again this year so I can return to Augusta National in 2016. I’ve been working hard to get ready for the tournament. I can’t wait to give my best and hold aloft that trophy on Sunday afternoon.”
