Mid Summer Wins for Shinichi and Christy
Mizuno, who won a youth event in Thailand the previous week, fired a fine 68 over the New Course at the Hong Kong Golf Club to establish a six-stroke margin of victory. Jeffrey Wang, Michael Regan Wong and Jonathan Yeap tied for second place with 74s, while Shinichi's younger brother Shinya placed fifth with a 75. Defending champion Charles Stone finished back in the pack after a lacklustre 84.
In the Ladies' division, Christy Chong edged out Emilie Vickie Leung on count back for the title after the pair recorded matching 32-point hauls. Cathy Chung earned third spot, a point further back.
The long-running tournament is the most popular event on the HKGA calendar, with over 320 players taking part.
