The fourth hole on the Jade Course – played as the 13th of the round – proved pivotal. Just one shot behind a fading Nagatomi, Chung came up trumps with a birdie to take the lead for the first time after his opponent could only make a double bogey. It was a lead he was never to relinquish.
2011 champion Chu Koon-ching finished in a tie for sixth, while multiple winner Joseph Pethes placed one spot higher in fifth. Meanwhile Roderic Sage continued his recent run of good form by finishing in solo fourth.
Chung, a regular Hong Kong representative, will next play international golf at the Asia Pacific Golf Confederation's Senior Amateur Championship, which will be held at Discovery Bay Golf Club at the end of November.
