Money list

By claiming the first prize in Shanghai, Hanson has also given himself a chance to deny McIlroy the same European and PGA Tour money list double achieved by Donald last season. With four more weeks to go he leaps from seventh to second in the European standings. Although the Northern Irishman's runner-up finish means he still has a lead of more than £650,000, the winner's cheque is more than that in this week's World Championship event at Mission Hills in Shenzhen - and McIlroy is not playing. "I'm going to try to keep this form going," Hanson said. Justin Rose, now down to third in the Race to Dubai standings, tied for sixth, Martin Kaymer and Graeme McDowell were joint 11th and Lee Westwood and Nicolas Colsaerts finished in joint 14th.
