KUALA LUMPUR: Singapore’s Low Wee Jin and national golfer Winnie Ng sealed dramatic victories at the Selangor Amateur Open at the Danau Golf and Country Club on Sunday.
The third and final rounds were called off due to rain and as a result, the tournament officials decided on having a playoff for both categories to decide the champions.
Wee Jin won the men’s title after converting a birdie putt, ending Muhammad Afif Fathi’s hopes of winning on home soil.
“Honestly, I felt nervous going into the playoff. The adrenaline rush kicked in and I hit my longest drive on the 18th and gave myself a great opportunity for an up-and-down.
“Afif was pretty unlucky to miss that putt but overall, happy to end the week with this title,” said the 26-year-old, who will not focus on the Singapore Amateur Open on July 15-19.
The women’s division witnessed a three-way shootout with Winnie winning the title after compatriots Natasha Andrea Oon and Liyana Durisic both missed birdie putts.
