April 20th, 2010
The Fortis HKPGA Order of Merit 2010 kicked off on the 19 & 20th April at Kau Sai Chau - North Course with 3 different divisions, the Open, Seniors and Ladies Division. The HKPGA is honored to have Fortis this year as the title sponsor for a series of 3 Order of Merit events with prize money of HK$70,000 for each event. Champion from Open Division would go on to represent Hong Kong in the Mission Hills World Cup Qualifier and also qualify for the Hong Kong Open. A total of 66 players, including 3 elite amateur players representing the Hong Kong Golf Association, joined the tournament. Ducky Tang captured the top spot from Open Division. Tang Ching Pun clinched the title of Senior Divisions with a 2-day-combined score of 155. The Ladies Division title went to Melody Chan with a combined score of 158.
The champion of the Open Division was produced during play off. The game was halted for an hour on the second day owing to low visibility caused by foggy weather. The committee finally had to terminate the tournament, as the situation did not turn better and announced championship to the leader of the first day. However, three players, Wong Woon Man, Wong Ching Kwan and Ducky Tang, were tied at the top with the same score of even par 72 on the first day. Eventually they had to compete against each other at play off at Hole 11. Tang, at the end, clinched the first title of the calendar.
Tang said after the game, “I won by luck this time. My performance was just fair at the first nine holes. Luckily I managed to have some good strokes at the last four holes, which gained me 3 birdies and 1 eagle. That brought me back to the leading position. Also, I played under not much stress during play off as the other 2 players are good friends of mine for many years. I enjoy the game and am delighted to win.”
