The Nagoya Asian Games golf tournament came to an end today. Wang Weixuan, who was only one stroke behind the leader after the first three rounds, had a mediocre performance this round with a score of 70 and ranked fifth with a total score of 269. In the men's team competition, the Taiwanese team ended up tied for fourth.

After the first three rounds, Wang Weixuan was temporarily tied for second place, only one shot behind the leader Kim Joo-hyung of South Korea, and had a good chance to win a medal. Unfortunately, Wang Weixuan didn't play much in this round, scoring 3 birdies and 3 bogeys. He finally paid the card with a score of 70 and finished fifth with a total score of 269.

Wang Weixuan couldn't hide his disappointment after the game, saying it was really a pity, "Today's tee shot was actually quite good, but I was not sure about the second shot, which resulted in not many birdie opportunities. In addition, today's putting was not as good as the previous two days, which also affected the results."

However, Wang Weixuan, who participated in the competition for the third time, believes that this time the competition is actually the easiest one. "Maybe I have the experience of the previous two times, so I kept moving towards the goal of the top three without thinking too much. I rushed as hard as I could."

This time partnering with James Chien and Hong Jianyao, Wang Weixuan said that because they usually play together on the Asian Tour, they are already very familiar with each other. They are competitors in the professional arena, but they also hope that each other will perform well. "I think our team is very happy and relaxed, and our cohesion is very good."

Zhan Shichang, who has competed in the Asian Games for the first time in 20 years, scored 3 birdies and 2 bogeys today. He paid the card with 69 and finally tied for eighth with 282. Zhan Shichang said that after 20 years of training, his mentality is more mature when he returns to this stage. "For example, after I made consecutive bogeys today, although I felt sick, I would immediately tell myself that I can't think about it anymore and I have to play hard, because maybe I will make birdies later to make it back."

The 40-year-old Zhan Shichang is the oldest player in this representative team. He was named "Captain" by his teammates and plays a role of motivating everyone. Regarding his status as the Taiwanese golf captain, Chien Shi-chang said with a smile, "Probably because I am the oldest. But I didn't put too much pressure on them when we had dinner on the first day. Everyone has worked hard. They have been competing for several weeks and are here again. Don't put too much pressure on them. Play to your heart's content. Relaxing will allow you to show your usual strength." Seeing that the women's team won the bronze medal first, Chien Shi-chang was happy for the female players. He also cared about everyone's results during today's competition, hoping to achieve good results and bring back medals to Taiwan.
