Zeng said she is coming into Fujian province with fond memories of the Orient (Xiamen) after winning the CGA Ladies Championship here last year for her second pro title. She is currently second on the CLPGA Tour Order of Merit behind Thai Sherman Santiwiwatthanaphong.

"I rallied from behind (overnight leader Liu Yan) and had a fantastic triumph at the CGA Ladies Championship. But I don't have much time to recover from jet lag. I am quite tired and haven't taken a good rest since the Sina Cup in Guangzhou last month. But it's our national championship as well as the season finale. I want to join the field and end my year well."

The national open championship is being contested for the 13th occasion.
