British Junior Open Lundin Golf Course July 2010
At the recent British Junior Open at the Lundin Golf Club in Scotland, conquered his first links course, battled gale force winds, bitingly cold rain and unexpected winter temperatures to finish 10th out of a field of 150 junior golfers from 70 countries. Prior to the trip to Scotland, he had to adjust his swing to hit his shots lower in preparation for the windy conditions of links golf. This training by his coach CM Chong proved to be extremely effective, helping him to achieve a very respectable finish under unfamiliar conditions. Read more of his Scottish experience here.
As an added perk for the Juniors, they got to watch and meet some of the top golfers of the world at the British Open in St Andrews.
