SINGAPORE, Oct 9 (Reuters) - Amateur golfers in Asia-Pacific will have little respite over the coming years with Chinese teenager Jin Cheng saying he has no plans to turn professional anytime soon.
The 17-year-old, who counts world number one Jordan Spieth and Chinese great Zhang Lianwei as his role models, was crowned Asia-Pacific Amateur champion last week at the weather-curtailed 2015 edition in Hong Kong.
With the trophy also came a prized place in the field for next year's U.S. Masters at the fabled Augusta National course in Georgia and also a spot in qualifying for the British Open.
