Inez Ng is the newly crowned overall champion of the 2017 HSBC Youth Golf Challenge when she won the Girls ‘B’ Division at the 3rd and final leg held at Sembawang Country Club from the 12 to 14 March. She managed to edge out fellow competitor, Anne Leqi Fernandez by 6 shots who had rounds of 80, 76, 75 to finish at 9-over par for the competition. Inez had the lead after the second round after carding a steady even par 72. In the final round, she showed why she is a force to be reckoned with by finishing with a birdie, birdie, par for an even par round of 72.
Anne started the final round strong with Birdies both on the second and fourth hole but soon found trouble when she carded a bogey on the par 3 sixth and a double on the ninth. Another bogey on the eleventh placed her out of reach of leader Inez Ng. However, an Eagle on the par 4 thirteenth and a birdie on the par 5 seventeenth provides some respite from an otherwise back nine charge.
In the Girl’s ‘A’ Division, Hailey Loh shot rounds of 75, 73, 75 to clinch her Division title against closest competitor Vanessa Khoo.
In the Boy’s Division, Fabian Lefan Fernandez shot rounds of 76, 69, 74 to win the ‘A’ Division title while Sean Lee managed to runaway with the ‘B’ Division with an impressive 11 stroke lead over nearest competitor Ng Wei Jun.
