BANGKOK: Almost exactly a year after denying Ernie Els in Singapore, China's Zhang Lianwei is dreaming of stopping the Big Easy's repeat title bid when the star-studded Johnnie Walker Classic tees off at the Alpine Golf & Sports Club here today.
Exactly a year ago this week, the self-taught Zhang, one of Asias most successful players, scored a stunning victory over the South African superstar in a European Tour stop in Singapore, preventing Els from running away with his third straight victory.
