Chinese Taipei's Lu wins title in Kunming

KUNMING, Southwest China, April 13 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Taipei's Lu Wen-teh won his first victory on the mainland after a one-over-par 73 earned him the 115,000 U.S. dollars Kunming Championship and made him the Omega China Tour's first non-mainland champion.

His 16-year-old playing partner Benny Ye Jianfeng finished runner-up, and 18-year-old amateur James Su Dong rose to third after an even-par 72.

With Ye and Su picking up flowers instead of pay cheques, Jim Johnson, Chen Dinggen and Kunming-born Liu Anlin each won 54,000 yuan for sharing fourth place on six-over.

Two more outstanding teenager hopes also figured near the top of the leader board. Lu's 15-year-old compatriot, Alan Hung Chien-yao, was joint-seventh after a closing 73 put him seven-over, while Florida-based 18-year-old Hu Mu shared 12th spot on nine-over after a 76.
