Australian Kim Felton made a career comeback when he took home the winner's cheque at the Midea China Classic in OneAsia's 2010 season.

It was his first title since 2007, following a difficult period in which he spent much of his time away from competitive golf working at a friend’s wine store for much the year and spending much of his spare time re-discovering his love for the game.

A six-time winner in Australia, Felton played much of his golf on the Nationwide Tour since 2005 after winning the Knoxville Open during his rookie season. However, he returned home in April 2009 after a run of bad form and took a break from competitive golf, returning briefly at the end of the year for some events during the Australian summer.

H finished tied 31st at the 2010 Indonesia Open presented by Enjoy Jakarta, but missed the cut at the Thailand Open in August and the Kolon Korea Open in October before capping off his return to tournament golf with his stunning performance in Shunde.

Felton is married to Gemma Liddelow of Vault Sports Management in Australia, which also manages his professional career.

He was a state representative in baseball in his younger years.
