"I think we'll have a good chance this year of winning," Chan said. "We want to do well." Zhou Xunshu, who played with Hsu, finished joint-fourth on 71 despite playing in the spotlight of NBC's cameras. However, the close attention of a Beijing-based crew from the US television network didn't put him off his game as he enjoyed a rare appearance on the leaderboard. "I was so nervous when I saw the NBC cameras on my first hole (the 10th). I didn't know they would be there," he said. "At first I played well, but I later put two balls in the water. I'm still happy with my score," said the smiley Zhou. Zhou is one of many players on the Tour with interesting backgrounds. As a former security guard at a golf course, he has captured the attention of international media and was later interviewed by NBC for a programme on the Omega China Tour and the growth of Chinese golf. On a day in which the Chinese Taipei duo enjoyed the upper hand, Zhou said he learned a lot from his playing partner. "It was great for me to play with Hsu," Zhou said. "He has wonderful course management and a dream short game. That's exactly what we mainland players need, that kind of short game." Hsu was also complimentary about his playing partner. "Zhou outdrove me by 30-40 yards every time," he said. "He really has everything in his game apart from international experience."
