Yeung Prevails in Macau

Jordan Yeung battled through torrential conditions to earn his first Macau Amateur Open Championship title in the week before Christmas.

Yeung (pictured), a seven-handicapper, fired a final-round 76 – a brilliant score given the high winds that plagued the exposed course at the Macau Golf & Country Club – to hold off Dave Yan and Hong Kong international Steven Lam by two shots. Hong Kong junior Bibendum Leung fought back from an opening 86 with a solid 78 to finish in solo eighth.

Mu Ching Lung, who plays off 16, was crowned the nett champion after his two-round total of 142.

Stewart Blitzes HKPGA Field

A resurgent James Stewart claimed his first win of the 2012 season with a brilliant performance in leg four of the HKPGA Order of Merit, which was held at Yinli Foreign Investors' Golf Club in Dongguan mid-December.

Stewart, who started the final round a shot behind the overnight leader, Jang Chel Hoo of Taiwan, fired a six-under 66 to cruise to an impressive 10-shot win.

Tim Tang, who was the only local player to make the cut at November's UBS Hong Kong Open, finished third, which earned him more than enough points to claim the HKPGA Order of Merit title.
