Virginie and Leon Impress in Thailand

Hong Kong players performed admirably at the 2015 TrueVisions International Junior Golf Championship, which was held at the Plantation Course at Siam Country Club in Thailand last month

Virginie Ding secured a play-off victory in the girls' 11-12 age division with a three-round score of 217 (one-over-par) for the standout performance of the week, with Chloe Chan finishing four shots behind in third spot.

In the boys’ 15-20 age category, in-form Leon D’Souza narrowly missed out on victory after finishing just one shot behind Myanmar’s Hlaing Min Htet on 11-over. D’Souza, who would go on to claim the Hong Kong Junior Close Championship the following week, got off to a sluggish start with rounds of 78 and 76. A brilliant 68 in the third round lifted him up the leaderboard but his 75 on the last day wasn’t quite enough to overhaul Hlaing.
