20-Year-Old Li Haotong On Cusp Of History

/

Doug Ferguson reports that Kevin Kisner holds a two-stroke lead over Dustin Johnson, a former HSBC Champions winner. But if you've watched any of the event (and the ratings say you haven't), there is a really fun story potentially looming with 20-year-old Li Haotong.

Ferguson filed a separate story on Haotong, who gets some pretty entertaining crowd reactions to his shots.

“This tournament is so big - it’s too big,” Li said after a 6-under 66 that left him one shot out of the lead going into the final round. “I know that the final day, a lot of people are going to be making a lot of birdies. That’s why I thought my goal of this tournament would be making the top 10, because making the top 10 will already be a highlight and a milestone for my short career.

“I hope that tomorrow I can do well and finish at the position where I want to.”

Here's a little taste of a Li roar. Golf Channel coverage starts at 10 pm ET:
