Felton, Yates leap into top 10 of OneAsia Order of Merit
0 
Y.E. Yang remains the top of the Order of Merit with earnings of US$679,090 following his sensational win at the Kolon Korea Open earlier this month.
Yang earned US$262,430 for his dramatic, come-from-behind victory, which marked his second win on OneAsia after his imperious win at the US$2.5 million Volvo China Open in April. The 38-year-old is a legend in Asia after he became the continent's first Major winner at last year's PGA Championship.
Liang Wenchong, who had topped the money list after his second win of the year at the Thailand Open, nudged closer to Yang after his tie for eighth at the Midea China Classic earned him US$27,000 and boosted his OneAsia earnings for the year to US$520,200.
Kim Dae-hyun, the 22-year-old Korean who won May's GS Caltex Maekyung Open, remains third ahead of Indonesia Open champion Michael Hendry of New Zealand.
Bae Sang-moon, the Korean Tour money winner for the past two years, overtook Kim to win the SK Telecom Open in May and is in fifth place, having also finished fifth last year's Order of Merit.
Stephen Allan, a former PGA Tour and European Tour regular, moved up to 13th with US$109,702 after the 37-year-old Australian finished joint-fifth at the Midea China Classic, his third top-10 in six OneAsia events.
OneAsia's final events of the year are the Australian Open at The Lakes Golf Club in Sydney from December 2-5 and the Australian PGA Championship at the Hyatt Regency Coolum from December 9-12.
All events are showcased on OneAsia's television platform with live coverage for four hours a day across all four tournament days, and broadcast to over 260 million homes in more than 40 countries.
Full coverage is available internationally on ESPN Star Sports, Jupiter Golf Network, SBS Golf Channel, Fox International, Network Ten, Sky Sports NZ, ESPN3 and America One in the USA, and ViaSat and Bloomberg Television among others in Europe.
