May 6: Here’s five takeaways from The 38th GS Caltex Maekyung Open Golf Championship and the Volvo China Open.

• At 14 years, 170 days, Kuang Yang is the second youngest player after Thailand’s Jazz Janewattananond to make the weekend cut on the Asian Tour.
• At the other end of the scale, elder statesman and Asian Tour board member Zhang Lianwei, 54, is the only man to have played in all 25 editions of the Volvo China Open, winning it in 2003.
• Of the 45 Chinese players who began the tournament, 10 made it through to the weekend, setting a new record for the Volvo China Open.
• The Maekyung Open trophy is retained on home soil for the 15^th consecutive year and running. American Mark Calcavecchia was the last foreigner to win the event in 2004.
• The play-off between Taehee Lee and Janne Kaske is the eighth play-off recorded in the tournament’s 38 years of history.
• Taehee Lee trained under Korean legend Sangho Choi, a two-time winner of the Maekyung Open, at the Namseoul Country Club from 2003 to 2010.
• Janne Kaske was left to rue a missed opportunity for his breakthrough win on the Asian Tour but took pride in his solid outing, which marked his best ever result on Tour since plying his trade in Asia in 2015.
