he Hong Kong Golf Club's Deep Water Bay course was the venue for the second playing of the EFG Bank Junior Tour Grand Final in mid-January. Featuring a full field of young golfers, the event, which was open to golfers up to the age of 14, proved once again to be a great success and was highlighted by a number of fine individual performances. Shinya Mizuno, brother of Shinichi Mizuno, a Hong Kong international, performed admirably. carding a 63 to win the Boys 13-14 age division by an impressive six strokes. In the Girls 13-14 age division, Phyllis Tang's 73 earned her a slender one-shot win over Peony Tan in second place. As sponsors of the Hong Kong Golf Association's Junior Development Programme, EFG Bank's role in local junior golf continues to be signifcant – and the Junior Tour illustrates the increased number of playing opportunities now available to budding young golfers in the city.
