HSBC Youth Challenge Update


The 3rd Leg of the HSBC Youth Golf Challenge is currently being played at the Laguna National Golf & Country Club, venue for the European Tour's former co-sanctioned Singapore Masters. (pic above)

Several of our Academy's junior golfers have put together a good performance so far in the competition and are in contention with just one round to play on the difficult and heavily water-logged Masters course.

In the Boys 'A' division (15-17yrs), Princeton Yeo is in 2nd place after solid rounds of 76,73. Abdul Hadi also survived the 2-round cut. Unfortunately Academy junior Edgar Oh who is the HSBC Youth Challenge defending champion on this golf course was forced to withdraw from the event prior to the opening round. Last year Edgar put together a blistering opening round of 7-under par 65 and went on to claim the title.

In the Boys 'B' division (12-14yrs), Leonard Tee finds himself in with a great chance to taste victory, currently sitting in 2nd place and just one shot off the lead after posting scores of 78,76. Other juniors to make the cut in this division were Lucius Toh, Nicholas Mok, Jordan Tsan and M.Vickneshwaran.

In the Girls 'A' division (15-17yrs), Phoebe Tan has a commanding 7 stroke lead after recording a terrific 1-under par 71 in today's 2nd round of competition. While in the Girl's 'B' division, Maisarah Bte Saadon and Rachael Lim are in 5th and 6th place respectively.
