McDowell looks forward with optimism

Graeme McDowell will head into the BMW Asian Open full of confidence after a solid performance saw him claim a tie for second place at the Volvo China Open.

A final round 69, to go with three scores of 70, saw McDowell finish as runner-up on five under par – five strokes behind Austrian winner Marcus Brier and level with Australian Scott Hend and South Africa’s Andrew McLardy.
