　　20 million yuan! China Open this year set a new record of total prize money (the first of only $ 400,000 total prize money). In golf field, only high bonuses can attract the world's top players. When talking about the current China Open, the State Sports General Administration of small ball Li, deputy director of management said bluntly: "The Chinese players only participate in such a high level of competition to really improve, which is a part to prepare for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro."

　　Unfortunately, the China Open since 2004 after joining the European Tour, up to 7 years, the titles had been dominated by foreign players. A Chinese player Zhang Lian -wei won the championship in 2003. Tournament, 3 times Grand Slam champion, the Irish star Padraig Harrington and the former world NO.2 golden boy Sergio Garcia of Spain and the first person to golf in Asia, Korea's Yang Yong-eun will be a championship contender.

Titleist CB 710 Forged Irons VS AP2 710 Forged Irons

Titleist CB 710 Forged irons:

Titleist CB 710 forged irons appear to a lot of people for the appearance of   them with a compact head shape, slight cavity enhanced with a solid weight pad, and slender soles, which can make them easily outstand from the classic Titleist blade irons of the past. They are not excessively long from heel to toe (shorter than the AP2), so they might be more suitable for poorer ball strikers. But it seems to cut power for those who prefer this appearance. Perhaps they do not as soft as some irons but they feature a nice balance with a pleasant sound at impact between solid and smooth. When you hit the ball, you will not have a jarring feel on impact towards the heel and toe. In addition, it is no an issue to strike balls out of fairway, rough or even divots in dry conditions. The CB irons also feature an optimized cavity muscle that allow more mass behind the impact area to achieve the soft, solid fee. The lighter weighting can promote consistent launch angle, backspin and ball speed so as to get farer distance.

Titeist AP2 710 Forged irons:

On the market, by adjusting the lies and lofts, the AP2's tend to fly and spin more than the CBs, so players typically take home stronger lofted AP2 sets. Many golfers like the look of the CB's and prefer the narrower sole of the CB's, but feel the AP2's may give them the extra "help" from time to time. Titeist MOI does a great job to make the AP2 irons a little more forgiving than the CB and also makes AP2 irons a good look at address. For some tester, they prefer AP2 irons because CB irons are not anything amazing and feel like an average Titleist irons. Compared with CB irons, AP2 irons give you almost everything the CB does, with better results on slight mishots. They AP2's are most definitely a more forgiving blade compared to the CB's. They are more muted and feel softer than the CB's, softer in a fabricated insert way.

The AP2's are the overwhelming choice of Titleist Professionals. Here is the breakdown of iron choice for Staffer's on Titleist's website: 710 CB players (20) and AP2 players (41). The product gives the better player a truly balanced performance choice, outstanding feel with shot workability and forgiveness. And that is why so many players are using it. AP2 was the #1 iron model on the PGA Tour in 2008 and 2009. It was the most played iron model at the 2008 and 2009 PNC (Club Pro Championship). And it was the most played model at the 2009 US Amateur Championship where there were more sets of AP2 Irons in play than any other brand combined"

Bryce Molder wins the Frys.com Open

Looking unflappable through a six-hole playoff at CordeValle Golf Club — the longest on the PGA Tour this season —Bryce Molder won for the first time in 132 starts when he rolled in a 6-foot putt for birdie to defeat Briny Baird, who was trying to win his first Tour event in 348 starts.

Bryce Molde edged out Briny Baird in a play-off to earn his first PGA Tour win at the Frys.com Open, after Englishman Paul Casey fell away on the final day.

Casey started the day in a tie for second, but a final-round 71, including three bogeys and a double bogey, saw him finish joint seventh on 11 under.

Molder chased down overnight leader Baird to finish tied on 17 under, winning on the sixth extra hole.

Tiger Woods finished in a tie for 30th after his third successive round of 68.

"You practice and you work and you hope there's validation behind it," said Molder, who became the 14th first-time winner on the Tour this season. "I got some breaks at the right time.

"I remember back in my amateur days that you get to a point where you don't feel pressure. You almost get past being nervous, and at that point, you just try and take advantage of your chances."

Baird, 39, has now won $12.4 million without winning a tournament. Obviously disappointed, he said he'd remember the best parts of the week more than the final outcome.

The American has now not won in more than 12 years and 348 starts on the PGA Tour - although he has made more money than any player without a victory, with just over $11.9m (£7.65m) in career earnings.

"I finished second before four times, and only one of those four times did I really honestly think I had a chance to win," he said afterwards. "Today I felt like I was out there to win the tournament. For me, that's a big deal."

Molder added: "It's a little surreal right now. That's a lot of golf today."
