Zhang, who is playing in Wuhan for the first time since 2017 when she finished equal seventh, said with the abundance of water hazards on the course whoever was the most accurate on the fairways and greens this week would determine the winner.

"Compared to previous years, the greens are way faster. It is more difficult now. I hope I can maintain my mentality and keep my putting steady. Of course I am playing for another win. If you need a number, I want to get three-under par each day for this week."

Huang Ching is the defending champion. The Chinese Taipei native won last year's tournament by two strokes after carding birdies on the final two holes of the Orient Wuhan layout for her maiden CLPGA Tour win.

"At the beginning of this year I went to South Korea to work on my putting. I feel confident with it now but my driver is a little bit off. My long game offset my improvement of putting so I can only rate myself 60/100 for this season," said the 22-year-old Kaohsiung native.

"This course is not an easy course to me. It is not the same type of course I usually practice at. The fairways are short but narrow, so tee shots are critical. You also need to rely on your short game. I am not thinking about defending, I just want to perform better than last year."

Orient Wuhan is a 6,102-yard, par-72 layout designed by TK Pen.
