So what do we know about the Chinese golfer, one of 50 home players allocated places in this week’s field? Amazingly, the 34-year-old didn’t pick up a golf club until he was 22 while he’s currently ranked 1,189th in the world. There are no clues in Huang’s form that he would show up like this. He played at this week’s venue, Genzon GC, in last year’s Volvo China Open and missed the cut after a pair of 76s. He’s also teed it up just once in 2015, finishing T59 in the Australasian Tour’s New Zealand Open. The mystery surrounding today’s flying start deepens when you consider that he’s missed 16 of his last 20 worldwide cuts. Huang will again attempt to make a fool of logic in tomorrow’s second round. “Last year I played very bad,” said Huang, who worked as a labourer and then a caddie before falling in love with the game. “This year I have changed my swing and yesterday I changed the driver and I like the new driver.”
