GALWAY’S LIAM NOLAN has finished in joint-fifth place at the Hainan Open on the HotelPlanner Tour.

Nolan, who won the Abu Dhabi Challenge last week, signed off with a three-under 69 which included four birdies and just one bogey on the 10th.

Nolan earned just under €50,000 in his first professional victory at the Abu Dhabi Challenge to send him up to 12th place in the Road to Mallorca standings, where players can earn access to the DP World Tour.
