GOH Kun Yang has secured a full card for the Omega China Tour's fifth season.

The Singaporean fired four birdies in six holes for a superb three-under 69, the best score in yesterday's final round of the Omega China Tour Qualifying School for foreign PGA professionals.

Goh's two-day total of 143 at the Palm Island Resort in Guangdong was good enough for third place, with the top-10 finishers earning full cards.

C.J. Gatto, the 23-year-old Shenzhen-based American, emerged the winner after shooting an even-par 72 for a four-under total of 140.

Runner-up

South Korean Lee Joung Wook, a former winner on the New Zealand PGA circuit, recorded a second successive 71 to finish runner-up.

Big-hitting David Freeman, an Asian Tour regular, posted a 72 to finish fourth on two-over while fellow Hongkong-based Britons James Stewart and Nick Redfern each shot 75 to share fifth on three-over.

Gatto played another solid round to follow his opening 68 and could even afford a double-bogey at the par-four 17th after dunking his approach into the water from a divot, but was delighted to top the Tour's second Qualifying School.

'It feels awesome to win. It's always nice to have the overnight lead and I stayed in front,' said the young American, a native of Columbus, Ohio who graduated last May from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.

'Now I'm looking forward to playing a full season on the Omega China Tour.

'I was a little scrappy early on, but my short game kept me in it,' added Gatto, who moved to Shenzhen in November to work with David Leadbetter's eldest son, Andy, at the OCT Pure Lead Golf School.

'I was really solid for the final 12 holes, although I was a little unlucky on 17th.'
