That could mean a little more attention, at least from a gambling and daily fantasy perspective, here at Topwin Golf and Country Club in Beijing.

This is the third edition at Topwin. The tournament’s been European Tour sanctioned since 2004 (2005 season) and originated in 1995.

Topwin offers views of the hills of Huairou and is situated at the base of the Great Wall of China.

The parkland style course was designed by Ian Woosnam and measures to 7,261 yards for a par of 72. While not long overall, a 249-yard par-3 and three par-5s over 550 yards offer opportunities for bombers to make a move

Topwin’s known for its undulating greens and water hazards that come in to play on 15 holes.

Weather looks favorable with highs in the 80s Fahrenheit and light winds.

Winning scores have been 22-under and 17-under here.

With only two years of data to work with, current form goes along way to crack these top 10 rankings. Let’s dive in.
