Bandon native Brian O’Donovan shot an opening round of 69 to finish in the top 20 at the Clearwater Bay Open in Hong Kong.  O’Donovan is competing in his first PGA Tour China event this season and is very well placed in the field of 120 golfers.  He’s three shots off the lead on one under par.  The Mission Hills senior instructor had two bogies and three birdies on the front nine and he followed that with nine pars on the way back.

Brian’s senior teaching role at the Dongguan Academy in Million Hills means that he’s had very little time to play golf this season, but he took advantage of this opportunity and finished third in Monday’s qualifier to make it into the tournament.

Scoring: Clearwater Bay Open, PGA Tour China
