Haotong Li admitted that he almost gave up golf ten months ago - after beatingThomas Pieters in a play-off to win the BMW International in Munich on Sunday.
The Chinese player holed a huge putt at the first play-off hole to beat the Belgian and earn his third title on the European Tour - and his first for four years.
But Li said he had told his caddy that he was ready to give up the game after struggling with his form.
