Superb Supamas

Defending champion Tiffany Chan started the final round at tied-15th but a tentative start with three bogeys in the first four holes put paid to her chances of retaining the title. However, the 23-year-old showed her grit as she did all week and refused to fade away, clawing back magnificently with birdies at the 5th, 6th, 9th, 11th and 12th.

Hong Kong’s first golfing Olympian commented: “To have three bogeys in the first four holes is a little unusual for me on this course. I think I put a little bit of pressure on myself trying to gain some ground early on. Luckily, I scored well when I needed to get back on par, which helped a lot. I definitely have a lot to work on but overall, I am pleased with my performance this week, and the EFG Hong Kong Ladies Open provided a really good experience for me as I begin my professional career. I am a little bit disappointed but I did the best I could. I hope golf fans enjoyed my performance this week, and I would like to thank them for supporting me all the way through under such hot and humid conditions.”
