Jackie Chan was Hong Kong's star performer at last month's Mercedes-Benz Junior Golf Championships Asian Masters Final after claiming the Boys' 23 and under title in fine fashion

Chan fired a three-round total of 226 (10-over-par) over the 7,006-yard course at Burapha Golf & Resort near Pattaya to win the division by a convincing five shots.

Other noteworthy performances included Michelle Lee whose final-round 73 which helped her finish in third place in the Girls' 14 and under category; Jasmine Chee who grabbed a top-10 place in the Girls' 17 and under division; Taiga Iwasa's 230 total earned him a very credible tied-sixth finish in the Boys' 14 and under field; while Nathan Han carded three solid rounds to end the Boys' 12 and under tournament in a share of 15th.

Thailand's Nititorn Thippong showed why he is one of the most highly rated juniors in southeast Asia with the lowest score of the event. Playing in the Boys' 17 and under division, Nititorn recorded an eight-under 208, which included a first-round 66, to clinch victory.
