Tiffany Impresses at Pro Event

Tiffany Chan shines at CLPGA Beijing Challenge

Tiffany Chan

Hong Kong amateur international Tiffany Chan continues to show why she is so highly rated among her peers after an accomplished performance against a professional field at the CLPGA Beijing Challenge in late May. Nineteen-year-old Chan, who is currently studying in the United States, opened with a sparkling 69 over the Orient Pearl Country Club course on the outskirts of the Chinese capital before slipping back over the closing two rounds to finish in a share of 34th.

The tournament was won by Wichanee Meechai of Thailand who stole the show with a blistering 63 in the final round.

Chan, the reigning China Amateur champion, has a history of excelling against more experienced opposition. In 2012, the former Diocesan Girls’ School student outplayed a string of China LPGA Tour pros to capture the Yinli HKPGA Classic, another professional event, in Dongguan.
