Mimi Ho

Wu Suo-wei put in the most eye-catching display: his three-round total of 222 (six-over-par) earned him joint first place in the Boys’ 11-12 division alongside China’s Wang Dong Yu, a result that will surely bolster his chances of international squad selection. In the Girls’ 15-17 division, Mimi Ho finished in sixth spot following rounds of 86, 84 and 81, while Leon D’Souza bagged 10th in the Boys’ equivalent category after scores of 78, 82 and 74. The second best individual result from the Hong Kong contingent came courtesy of Fritz Lo, who put together three solid rounds to place fifth in the Boys’ 13-14 age group. Cyrus Lee (Boys’ 11-12), Virginie Ding and Selina Li (both Girls’ 11-12) also secured top-10 finishes in their respective divisions. The results earned Hong Kong fourth place behind China, Chinese Taipei and Malaysia in the team competition.
