With temperatures soaring into the mid-30s, Tam’s game caught fire as she posted a scintillating second round of five-under-par 68 over the demanding North Course at the Jockey Club Kau Sai Chau Public Course.
That gave her a 36-hole total of 141 and a seven-stroke winning margin from Michelle Cheung, the first-day leader. It also guaranteed Tam a place in the starting line-up for the ninth Faldo Series Asia Grand Final, to be hosted by Sir Nick Faldo at Mission Hills next March.
Tam, who topped the overall standings as well as winning the Girls’ Under-21 category, said: "I'm excited to win and qualify for my fourth Faldo final. My best finish at Mission Hills is runner-up in my age group so I hope to go one better in March and become Hong Kong's first winner.
Joining Tam at the Faldo Series Asia Grand Final - a World Amateur Golf Ranking event - across the border early next year will be Michelle Liu Lok-in (Girls’ Under-16 winner), Isaac Lam (Boys’ Under-16 winner) and Ng Hon-lam, who edged Leung Hin-yee on a countback in the Boys’ Under-21 category.
The Faldo Series Hong Kong Championship was played in conjunction with the 2014 Jockey Club Kau Sai Chau Junior Open presented by now TV.
