PHNOM PENH: Youngster Ng Jing Xuen made history by becoming the first woman golfer to win SEA Games gold in the women’s individual event at the Garden City Golf Club today.
The 15-year-old brushed aside the challenge of Asia Pacific Amateur Golf champion Eila Galitsky of Thailand, who took the silver, while another Malaysian, Foong Zi Yu, won the bronze.
Earlier, Jing Xuen confirmed the gold medal in the 32nd edition of the biennial Games after defeating Galitsky in a one-hole play-off when they were tied with 13 under par 203 after three rounds.
Meanwhile, Malcolm Ting clinched the silver in the men’s individual event with the gold going to Vietnam’s Le Khanh Hung.
His compatriot Nguyen Anh Minh took the bronze.
Ervin Chang was the first Malaysian to win the gold medal at the men’s individual event at the 2021 edition in Hanoi, Vietnam, last year. - FMT
