Talented teenagers pick up Winter Junior Championship titles for second successive year
F
or the second year in a row, Anthony Tam and Tiffany Chan triumphed at the Mizuno Winter Junior Championship, securing both their age division titles and overall honours. Played in bitterly cold weather over the South Course at Kau Sai Chau late December, Lam carded rounds of 75 and 71 to regain his boys’ crown, while Chan came through with a countback win over Michelle Cheung after the pair finished with matching totals of 149 to scoop the girls’ championship silverware. Cheung’s efforts didn’t see her leave empty handed however – rounds of 73 and 76 meant she walked away with the 13-14 age division title. Other notable performances included Marcus Lam’s narrow win in the 15-19 age division. Lam, a Hong Kong junior international, put together rounds of 78 and 74 for a countback victory over Thomas Strandemo (75 and 77), while Humphrey Wong and Tiana Gwen Lau deservedly picked up the 11-12 age division prizes following solid displays. In the lower two age groups –7-8 and 9-10 – the competitors played nine holes each day. Selina Li (87) and Michelle Lee (75) claimed the girls’ titles and Jason Au and Max Ting won their divisions with encouraging scores of 75 and 72 respectively. The Hong Kong Golf Association would like to thank Ken Takafuku and his team at Mizuno for their continued support of local junior golf. 42
