Chan finished second in the individual standings of the ladies' Santi Cup after recording a four-round total of 291 (three-over-par) over the demanding Jack Nicklaus-designed course. The result was the best ever by a Hong Kong player in the competition's history and enabled the Hong Kong team, which also comprised Michelle Cheung and Isabella Leung, to place fifth in the overall standings behind the champions, Malaysia.
In the men's Putra Cup, Jason Hak and Matthew Cheung produced solid displays, including a pair of final-round 68s, as the Hong Kong team matched their female counterparts with a fifth place showing. Hak's 285 total earned him seventh spot in the individual event, with Cheung also securing a top-10 place after finishing three shots further back. The Philippines reclaimed the team title after last winning the event in 1996.
"It was a good effort on a course that was playing firm, which was something our players aren't really used to," said national coach Brad Schadewitz. "Tiffany played particularly well, and Jason and Matthew fought back strong, so there's a lot to take out of the week."
In the junior events – the boys' Lion City Cup and girls' Kartini Cup, which were played concurrently with the main events – Hong Kong finished in sixth and fourth place respectively. Kitty Tam was the standout performer here, her four-round total of 304 earning her eighth place on the individual leaderboard.
