HA NOI — Fourteen-year-old Doan Xuan Khue Minh became Viet Nam’s youngest athlete to win the National Women’s Amateur Golf Championship on Sunday.
Minh triumphed, with an over-24 240 score at the three-day tournament where she faced senior and experienced rivals.
Joung Sun Mi stood second, with an over-26 242 result, followed by Ngo Le Hoang Nam Phuong (over-31). The qualification’s leader, Nguyen Thi Van Anh, former national champion, placed fourth (over-36).
Minh earlier overcame senior Tran Chieu Duong in the playoffs to secure her berth in the national team taking part in the Malaysian Southeast Asian Games in August. She broke the record for being the youngest Vietnamese athlete in the regional competition. — VNS
