SUNSHINE Burberry Zhang fended off Malaysian Jeneath Wong’s final round charge to rule the girls 8-years-old division in the Kids Golf World Championship at Glenmarie Golf and Country Club in Kuala Lumpur Thursday.
Zhang, born in the Philippines to Chinese parents, carded a gutsy 40 over nine holes at the backside of the Garden course for a 54-hole total of 121, edging Wong, who closed out with a 38-122, by one. Zhang opened with a 43 then struck with a 38 to grab the lead in the second round.
Sarah Ababa, meanwhile, rallied with a one-under 71 as the ICTSI-backed bet finished second to Myanmar’s Yin May Hyo in the rain-shortened girls’ 17-18 class at Saujana Golf and Country Club.
