Two of Hong Kong's younger talents gave plenty of reason to cheer at the Malaysian Junior Open, which was played at Saujana Golf & Country Club in late September
Leon D'Souza and Carrie Ann Lee, both 14, finished second in their respective age divisions, just missing out on victories. D'Souza, with a three-round total of 240, was only two strokes shy of winner Ervin Chang of Malaysia, while Lee finished four behind Kelie Kan, also from the host nation. In the team event, the Hong Kong duo also took home the runners-up award.
