It took Haotong Li one weekend to become a household name in the world of golf.
The Chinese golfer has put forth a starring showcase thus far at Royal Portrush, climbing to second in the British Open standings at the end of the third round. Four strokes off Scottie Scheffler’s lead, Li has his work cut out for him if he wants to hoist the Claret Jug come the end of the competition.
Nevertheless, Li has reaffirmed his place as one of the PGA Tour’s better talents. The fact that he’s done so at the British Open, a tournament where he once posted a top-three finish in back in 2017, is apt.
