National Golf Championship - Gia Lai 2025: Diamond furnace

Golf legend Jack Nicklaus said that success depends entirely on controlling two major opponents, one is the course and the other is yourself. This statement was proven at the National Golf Championship - Gia Lai 2025.

At FLC Golf Links Quy Nhon course designed by Nicklaus Design, in 4 days of competition, 125 golfers really went through a tough journey to pursue success, fighting the challenges that 18 holes brought, and constantly challenging themselves to overcome their limits. Each shot, each hole and each score was a confirmation of their talent, will and perseverance.

Looking back at the journey to the top of glory of Nguyen Tuan Anh or Le Chuc An, it is easy to see that. On the first day, Tuan Anh had 4 bogeys, 1 double bogey and 1 triple bogey, then only finished 6th. But this result did not discourage the 16-year-old golfer. Tuan Anh learned from his mistakes and never repeated them on the holes that had caused him trouble.

The trio Tuan Anh, Chi Quan and Gia Minh created an emotional fourth day of competition, with moments of excitement, tension and bursting happiness.

Once he joined the race, Tuan Anh never looked back. Despite the times when Truong Chi Quan took the lead, the 2009-born golfer's fierce and relentless attacking style continuously created suffocating pressure. Finally, at the par-5 17th hole, the turning point came when Tuan Anh scored a birdie and Chi Quan made a bogey after hitting the ball into the bunker. Successfully bringing Chi Quan into the play-off, the confident mentality helped Tuan Anh win, ending the dramatic and emotional race.

It can be said that the final of the 2025 National Golf Championship between Chi Quan and Tuan Anh was a confrontation between professionals and amateurs, experience and youth, the depth of the previous generation and the enthusiasm of the next generation. When it ended, both won. For Tuan Anh, it was the first National Championship in his career, and at the same time, he completed the medal collection of the tournament with three colors: Bronze (2023), Silver (2024) and Gold (2025). As for Chi Quan, he was satisfied because he enjoyed the sublime moments, in addition to the unexpected results because he was switching to business.

Looking at the women's table, champion Le Chuc An also succeeded in overcoming his limits and winning against himself. The result of -2 strokes is the best result of the golfer born in 2007 compared to his two previous championships. More impressively, it was created on the FLC Golf Links Quy Nhon course, which is famous for its many challenges.

The shining moment of the two champions of the 2025 National Golf Championship.

Other golfers, from Nguyen Thao My, Anna Le or Nguyen Viet Gia Han, to Do Duong Gia Minh, Nguyen Trong Hoang and others, all have the right to be proud of what they have achieved. On the extremely difficult course with narrow fairways, undulating greens, uncomfortable sand traps, and experiencing all weather conditions, harsh sunlight, strong winds and heavy rain, they all overcame each other with intelligence, strong will and extraordinary determination.

Before the tournament took place, journalist Phung Cong Suong - Editor-in-Chief of Tien Phong newspaper , co-head of the tournament organizing committee, said that the 2025 National Golf Championship was brought to a new field to create new experiences, and the challenges were the best way to honor the talents of golfers, motivating everyone to demonstrate their intelligence, skills and courage.

They say pressure makes diamonds. When the tournament ended, the Organizing Committee could be proud that a new generation of diamonds - the best golfers - had been formed after 4 days at FLC Golf Links Quy Nhon.
