HONG KONG 9 January, 2015 (HK Golfer News Wire) -Wong clinched the Girls’ 11-12 division with her brilliant one-over-par 59 whilst 14-year-old Charles Chung (Boys’ 13-14) was the leading boy on 61. Murakami won the Girls’ 13-14s with the best possible start: a hole-in-one on her opening tee shot. Incredibly, it was the 14-year-old’s second ace in a week, having holed out at Kau Sai Chau a few days earlier, and the third ace of her young career following a hole-in-one at Fanling last summer.
Albert Chiu, Chief Executive of EFG Bank in the Asia Pacific region commented: “The number of entries for this year’s Junior Tour has been higher than ever and the quality of golf in the Grand Final was the best yet. EFG Bank is very proud to have contributed to the growth of golf in Hong Kong since we teamed up with the Hong Kong Golf Association six years ago.”
The Grand Final was the climax to the Hong Kong Golf Association’s season-long EFG Bank Junior Tour which featured 18 tournaments for hundreds of young golfers aged 6 to 14 at venues including SkyCity Nine Eagles Golf Club, the Executive Nine Course at Clearwater Bay Golf and Country Club and Deep Water Bay.
