Hong Kong's Jason Hak continued his brilliant run of form in the United States with a three-shot win at the HP Boys Championship in Texas mid-February.
Hak, 18, who impressed at Fanling in December by making his third straight cut at the Hong Kong Open, carded a final-round 69 over the 7,311-yard Fazio Championship Course at The Club at Carlton Woods to claim the fifth American Junior Golf Association victory of his career.
"I knew I had to do something good today to get this win," said Tsim Sha Tsui-born Hak, who now resides in Florida. "I didn't start out very well. I doubled the second hole, but I knew I was still in it and I fought back really hard. I'm so proud of myself for staying in it and knew I could get it done."
With the win, Hak, who will attend Georgia Tech in the autumn, added to a record that includes top-10 finishes in his last nine AJGA events, a streak that started at the 2010 FJ Invitational. He also extended his lead at the top of the AJGA's Polo Golf Rankings with only two events remaining.–Alex Jenkins
