The 25-year-old, who has hit on some of her best form as a professional in the past few weeks, signed for a faultless opening with eight birdies on her way to her best round as a professional. Her day one showing was good enough for a share of fourth place at the notoriously low-scoring... https://www.scmp.com/sport/hong-kong/article/3017347/hong-kongs-tiffany-chan-shoots-incredible-64-first-round-thornberry?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/sport/hong-kong/article/3017347/hong-kongs-tiffany-chan-shoots-incredible-64-first-round-thornberry?utm_source=rss_feed Fri, 05 Jul 2019 02:29:46 +0000 Hong Kong’s leading golfer Tiffany Chan Tsz-ching agonisingly missed the cut by one shot at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship at Hazeltine. Chan bogeyed the 17th – as well as six other holes in her second round – to finish six over par overall and miss her chance of making it to the weekend in Minnesota. The 25-year-old had a second-round 77, which coupled with her opening-round 73 was just shy of the 149 needed to make the cut. It will be a case of what might have been for Chan, who had been... https://www.scmp.com/sport/golf/article/3015643/womens-pga-championship-agony-tiffany-chan-hong-kong-star-misses-cut-one?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/sport/golf/article/3015643/womens-pga-championship-agony-tiffany-chan-hong-kong-star-misses-cut-one?utm_source=rss_feed Sat, 22 Jun 2019 04:11:06 +0000 Hong Kong’s leading golfer Tiffany Chan Tsz-ching was on pace to finish as high as fourth right up until the 17th hole of her first round at the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship on Friday. The 25-year-old Chan was heading for a great finish before a double bogey on her second to last hole dropped her 28 spots to finish tied for 34th at the Hazeltine National Golf Club in Minnesota. As one of the five majors on the LPGA tour, the purse runs to US$3.85 million.

That’s China’s Du Mohan, who announced herself on the Asian golf scene on Saturday when she cruised to a five-shot lead at the US$150,000 EFG Hong Kong Ladies Open. The 17-year-old Beijing native showed her first-round five-under-par 67 was no fluke by matching that score and turning heads at Hong Kong Golf Club. Seasoned male pros had already earmarked Du as one to watch and she lived up to expectations, overshadowing some of the best players in... https://www.scmp.com/sport/golf/article/3009844/china-teen-phenon-du-mohan-turns-heads-and-screws-hong-kong-ladies-open?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/sport/golf/article/3009844/china-teen-phenon-du-mohan-turns-heads-and-screws-hong-kong-ladies-open?utm_source=rss_feed Sat, 11 May 2019 10:20:16 +0000 Hong Kong favourite Tiffany Chan Tsz-ching brushed off the disappointment of three missed cuts on the LPGA Tour as she prepared to take centre stage at the EFG Hong Kong Ladies Open, starting at Hong Kong Golf Club on Friday. An early exit from the Mediheal Championship in San Francisco last weekend turned out to be a blessing in disguise as it allowed her to get in a practice round for the US Open qualifying in Hawaii on Monday, where she blew the field away by five shots. Chan, 25, then made... https://www.scmp.com/sport/golf/article/3009557/hong-kong-star-tiffany-chan-hoping-be-cut-above-her-rivals-after-lpga?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/sport/golf/article/3009557/hong-kong-star-tiffany-chan-hoping-be-cut-above-her-rivals-after-lpga?utm_source=rss_feed Thu, 09 May 2019 09:43:56 +0000 Hong Kong golf star Tiffany Chan Tsz-ching knew in her mind Tiger Wood was going to win the Masters. And she was proved right as she was caught up by Tigermania last weekend just like millions did when the American superstar made a comeback for the ages, winning his first major in 11 years. And like many who stayed up late in Hong Kong to watch Tiger return to his best, Chan woke up at dawn to watch history unfold at Augusta. “It was awesome.

But to Hong Kong’s leading golfer, Tiffany Chan Tsz-ching, giving up a social life and the prospect of romance is par for the course. Chan lives, breathes, eats and sleeps golf. She can afford no distractions – even if that means “hanging out with friends and guys” – in her quest to become the best in the world. That is a big dream for a girl from Hong Kong, which has produced only a handful of world-class athletes – and none in golf.

Chan, who is ranked 140th on the tour with US$34,500 in prize money, will be one of 108 golfers vying to finish 45th or better for one of the final remaining 2019 LPGA Tour cards, playing 144 holes over two weeks (October 22-25 &... https://www.scmp.com/sport/hong-kong/article/2166896/hong-kong-golfer-tiffany-chan-back-meditating-and-ready-last-chance?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/sport/hong-kong/article/2166896/hong-kong-golfer-tiffany-chan-back-meditating-and-ready-last-chance?utm_source=rss_feed Thu, 04 Oct 2018 02:27:09 +0000 Tiffany Chan Tsz-ching hit a nine over par round of 81 in her storm interrupted second round at the US Women’s Open to finish the day 11-over par and miss the cut at Shoal Creek, Alabama. Saturday’s second round resumed an hour later than officials had planned and Chan restarted on the fifth hole at five-over par but that was quickly seven over as she double bogeyed the par five. Another double bogey on the 12th, plus bogeys on the tenth and 13th meant Chan missed the cut, which was at... https://www.scmp.com/sport/golf/article/2149018/tiffany-chan-hits-nine-over-rain-delayed-second-round-miss-cut-first-us?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/sport/golf/article/2149018/tiffany-chan-hits-nine-over-rain-delayed-second-round-miss-cut-first-us?utm_source=rss_feed Sun, 03 Jun 2018 05:34:47 +0000 Tiffany Chan Tsz-ching was left facing a hectic US Women’s Open weekend after stormy conditions played havoc with the schedule at Shoal Creek. A lightning delay caused by subtropical storm Alberto stopped more than half of the field from finishing their second round in Alabama, including Hong Kong No 1 Chan, who is playing her first major. Play was halted for nearly four hours and resumed at 6pm local time.
