While some athletes were frustrated over the postponement, the Chinese duo chose to look on the bright side, saying the delay has given athletes more time to prepare for the quadrennial event.We work very hard to ensure that we offer the absolute best prices online. The men's Olympic golf event is rescheduled to be held at Kasumigaseki in Saitama, Japan from July 29 to August 1 in 2021, after the Tokyo 2020 Olympics were forced to postpone for a year. The lack of below-par performances have led to some fans questioning the golfers' seriousness in the simulator game, but others believe that it is the athletes' inexperience in using simulators that resulted in their poor performances. In the first-round online duel between the two golfers on April 6, Wu finished one-over-par 73 to win over Li's 84 at a virtual Zhengzhong Golf Club in South China's Shenzhen. More than 2,000 golf fans watched the competition live through popular Chinese video-sharing platform Douyin on Sunday. The novel coronavirus outbreak has forced numerous public sporting activities to be postponed or canceled across the globe, leaving many athletes no competitive games to play and sports fans no live games to follow. 'You don't feel the wind, that's why sometimes the weather in the game was ignored,' said Li, who struggled in his putting, which he is also known for in reality. Meanwhile, the big difference between reality and scenes in the simulator also caused problems, as the wind speed in the game was sometimes not taken into account by the golfers. At the age of 24, he is ranked No.87 in the world. Li, a two-time European Tour winner, is considered a rising star in Chinese golf. 'But what's more important is that we can promote golf through this event, when competing in reality is currently not available.' 'It feels good, though the result is not satisfying,' said Li, who played in Shanghai. Veteran Wu, 34, playing in Xiamen, East China's Fujian Province, won the event by three strokes with a one-over-par 73. Organized by the China Golf Association, the duo took to the simulator to compete at a virtual Kasumigaseki Country Club, the venue for the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games.
