PGA Championship winner YE Yang needed just two final-round birdies to win the Volvo China Open by two shots today at a damp Jinji Lake International Golf Club today.

A timely chip-in pushed Finland's Mikko Ilonen into a slender one-shot lead ahead of Korean duo YE Yang and Kim Do-hoon and Jamie Donaldson midway through a see-saw third round at the Volvo China Open today.

ALL five Irish players made the cut following the halfway stage of the Volvo China Open at Jinji Lake International Golf Club yesterday at which Ye Yang ominously moved one shot behind fellow Korean Kim Do-hoon.
