Hong Kong golf duo fall away on final day of Asia-Pacific championships
Taichi Kho and Chloe Chan finish up in eighth place behind runaway winners Japan after starting the final round in third
Hong Kong’s most promising golf prospects were unable to rise to the challenge on the final day of the Asia-Pacific Golf Confederation Junior Championship at Hong Kong Golf Club on Friday.
But Taichi Kho and Chloe Chan Cheuk-yee were still in good spirits after they dropped from third place to finish eighth overall at one over par after three days of competition at Fanling.
“The scores [both two-over 72s] didn’t reflect our efforts today,” says Kho, 16. “We played well but couldn’t convert our putts.”
Chan, 13, said: “We were a bit unlucky, but I’m satisfied because I haven’t had many of these opportunities.
“I have learnt a lot from Taichi this week, who gave me advice on the choice of clubs for different situations, and if I get to pair with him again next year, I will be very happy.”
