HONG KONG, April 3, 2013 (HK Golfer News Wire) - Justin Lok and Isabella Leung were the big winners at the rain-affected le coq sportif Hong Kong Junior Close Championship, which concluded on Wednesday at Clearwater Bay Golf & Country Club.
Lok, 14, defeated Michael Regan Wong on the first hole of a play-off after the pair tied at 152 (12-over-par) to win the boys' division. Playing the tough par-five 18th in sudden death, Lok's regulation par was good enough to claim victory in a closely fought event that saw five other players finish within two shots of the winning total.
In the girls' category, Isabella Leung overcame the in-form Michelle Cheung, who made the cut at last month's World Ladies Championship at Mission Hills in Hainan, to claim her maiden Junior Close title by two shots. Mimi Ho, a former winner of this event, placed third, a further two shots adrift.
