Mission Hills proves tough as high scores crowd the opening leaderboard

Mission Hills Haiku has proven up to the challenge after day 1 of the TCG China Open. High scores have led to a tight leaderboard, albeit one without many birdies and a lot of doubles.

The Mission Hills course is one that requires a lot of discipline off the tee. With tight fairways and a lot of out of bounds, it is easy to put high numbers on from the beginning to end.

3 Time Tournament winner Ron Christensen is in the lead, but only after shooting an even par 73.
