Singapore amateur golfer Koh Sock Hwee had the privelege of playing in her very first Ladies European Tour event, when she teed it up this week at the Finnair Masters. 21yr old Koh, playing on a sponsors invitation, took a week away from her university studies to seize the opportunity and gain the invaluable experience of playing alongside Europe's best female professional golfers.
Sock fired a pair of 77's around Helsinki Golf Club, which was very respectable considering she is a full-time university student who only plays part-time tournament golf. She hit the ball very solid from tee to green but unfortunately could not convert the putts. Sock did however have the opportunity to play in the same group as the 1st round leader Titiya Plucksataporn who opened with a fabulous round of 65.
Sock has been training at our Academy for many years and has a terrific golf swing. I am sure the experience of competing on the European Tour will give Sock Hwee the inspiration to continue working at her game after she completes her studies.
