Mizuno Solid at Asia-Pacific Amateur

Shinichi Mizuno finished in a credible tie for 33rd at the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship, which was held at Amata Spring Country Club in early November.

Guan Tian-lang wins a spot in the 2013 Masters Tournament

Mizuno, 18, carded a four-round total of 296 (eight-over) over the rolling Bangkok course, while fellow Hong Kong international, Terrence Ng (pictured), missed out on the weekend action following rounds of 80 and 81.

China's Guan Tian-lang, aged just 14, won the tournament in sensational style. The Guangzhou-based Guan finished at 15-under-par to win both the title and a spot in the 2013 Masters Tournament, which, along with the R&A and the Asia Pacific Golf Confederation, organize the Asia-Pacific Amateur. Guan, who also received a berth into the International Final Qualifying for The Open Championship, will be the youngest player in history to tee it up at Augusta National Golf Club for the Masters.
