Wu Ashun (born 22 June 1985) is a Chinese professional golfer. He has won four times on the European Tour and twice on the Japan Golf Tour.

Professional career

Wu played on the Asian Tour in 2008 and 2009. His best finish was T-4 at the 2009 Singha Thailand Open.

Wu played on the Japan Golf Tour in 2010 and from 2012 to 2015. He won his first title in September 2012 at the Toshin Golf Tournament in Ryosen. He was the first golfer from China to win on the Japan Golf Tour.^[2]

Wu played on the OneAsia Tour in 2011, finishing 19th on the Order of Merit for that season.^[3]

In 2013, Wu won for the second time on the Japan Golf Tour, with a one-stroke victory at the Heiwa PGM Championship.

In April 2015, Wu won the Volvo China Open on the European Tour. He made history as he became the first Chinese player to win a European Tour event on home soil.^[4]

Since 2016, Wu has played primarily on the European Tour. In 2016 he won the Lyoness Open and in 2018 he had a third European Tour win, in the KLM Open, which made him the first Chinese player to win three times on the European Tour.^[1]

In March 2022, Wu picked up his fourth European Tour victory at the Magical Kenya Open. A final-round 65 saw him beat Aaron Cockerill, Thriston Lawrence and Hurly Long by four shots.^[5]
