Y E Yang comes good in China.

Y E Yang admitted his two shot victory at the Volvo China Open would go a long way to relieving some of the pressure following last year's US PGA Championship victory, but the Korean thinks he still has some way to go so silence all of his critics.

The 38 year old produced a chipping and putting master-class on a damp final day as a one under par 71 final round edged out Welsh duo Rhys Davies and Stephen Dodd and secured a deserved first win since becoming Asia's first Major winner after overcoming Tiger Woods at Hazeltine last August.

But even though the 2009 Honda Classic winner, who also finished eighth at the Masters Tournament, also beat Woods when the former weightlifter first rose to international prominence with victory at the HSBC Champions in Shanghai at the start of the 2007 season, Yang knows he still has something to prove.

It was a good week for the Irish with all 6 players making the half way cut.

Graeme McDowell put in a great finish with a 4 under par 68 left him in a share of 8th place on 10 under par.His reward is €34,857.

Damien McGrane a past winner of the China Open finished in 17th on 7 under and picked up a cheque for €23,341.

Shane Lowry dropped down over the last round with a 73.He still won €19,451 on -5 and a share of 23rd.

Peter Lawrie was 28th on -4 and won €15,827.Gareth Maybin was steady over the 4 rounds and finished 45th on 1 under par and won €9,351.

Paul McGinley continues his come back,finishing in 53rd place on +1 and won €6,390.
