SCHOOLBOY Roderick Staunton tees-off in the Asia-Pacific Junior Championship this morning aiming to enhance his reputation as one of the world's premier golfers in his age category.
The 11-year-old Island School pupil won international acclaim last August with a record-breaking triumph in the Japan Cup World Junior Championship in Gifu.
And Staunton hopes to add to his collection of silverware in Class C of the region's most important junior tournament which this year is being held at the New Korea Country Club.
Also flying the Hong Kong flag in South Korea are Pierre Niles and Jason Kang, both aged 16.
Niles, who also attends the Hong Kong International School, won the territory's Junior Championship last month, while KGV pupil Kang finished runner-up.
Meanwhile, Hong Kong's senior international team continue their build-up to next week's Southeast Asian amateur championships for the Putra Trophy by competing in the Saujana Open in Malaysia.
