Winter Titles for Junior Duo

Shinichi Mizuno finished 2012 in some style by winning the HKGA Winter Junior Championship, which was held at The Jockey Club Kau Sai Chau Public Golf Course in late December.

Mizuno, a regular Hong Kong international over the past three years, fired rounds of 68 and70 over the Gary Player-designed South Course for a level-par total of 138. Linus Lo, with 141, finished in second place, with Benjamin Wong a further four shots back in third.

In the Girls' Division, Isabella Leung (pictured) continued her recent run of form with a one-shot win. Leung, who has earned a golf scholarship to the University of Hawaii where she'll study Marie Biology, carded a two-day total of 142, which was enough to pip fellow international teammate Michelle Cheung in second place. Former Hong Kong Junior Close Championship winner Mimi Ho finished in third spot on 142.
