Showing True Olympic Spirit

The former Diocesan Girls’ School student, who had Hong Kong international Steven Lam Tszfung on caddying duties during in Brazil, added: “I’ve learnt a lot about myself and my game during the whole Olympic period - during the qualifying period and then being in Rio and competing.

“I’ve been playing well and I have confidence and belief in what I’m trying to achieve. Representing Hong Kong at the Olympics has been an honour … I’ve never experienced anything like it.”

Mark Chan, President of the Hong Kong Golf Association, said: “Tiffany has made Hong Kong extremely proud. She performed incredibly well on a difficult golf course and has proved to be a wonderful ambassador for Hong Kong golf. She has played in professional events before but never against players of this quality. To do as well as she has done was both remarkable and fantastic - it proves she can compete with the very best in the game. “The whole team - including her caddie, Steven, National Coach Brad Schadewitz and her friends and family - have been a really calming influence on her and made her feel at ease.

“The effect her achievements will have on Hong Kong golf is very positive. It’s a very exciting time for both her and the game itself.”
