In the Men's division, 1st round leader Edgar Oh was unfortunately forced to withdraw after sustaining an injury. Edgar had opened up a 3-shot lead at the National Ranking Event after a terrific 1st round of 69 and it was therefore very disappointing to see him sidelined. We wish him a full and speedy recovery!
In Edgar's absence, fellow Academy student Marc Ong(left) took full advantage of the opportunity, putting together rounds of 74,71 before reeling off 6 birdies in his closing round of 2-under par 70. Marc's 54-hole total of 1-under par gave him a 5-stroke margin of victory in the Men's Division. With this win Marc will earn himself valuable World Amateur Ranking points and also climb his way near the top of the SGA Order of Merit!
In the Women's Division of the competition, it was Koh Sock Hwee(right)who won for the 2nd time in as many weeks....cruising to a huge 8-shot victory! Sock Hwee led by just one stroke heading into the 3rd and final round but ran away from the field after finishing with a solid 2-under par round of 70. Sock Hwee now has just under 2 weeks to prepare her game to compete against the world's best female professional golfers at the HSBC Women's Champions 2012.
Congratulations to Marc and Sock Hwee on their sucessful start to the year!!
