Nguyen Tuan Anh brought an emotional victory to Vietnam at the Faldo Series Asia Grand Final 2025, taking place from April 23 to 25 at Laguna Golf Lang Co, with a total score of (-8).
This is the third consecutive year that a Vietnamese golfer has won the championship at the tournament, following the victories of Nguyen Anh Minh in 2023 and Nguyen Duc Son in 2024.
Nguyen Tuan Anh's success not only extends the impressive streak of achievements of Vietnamese golf, but also marks an important step forward in the journey to regional and international stature of a growing generation of talents.
After 2 excellent rounds to take the lead with a total score of (-7), Tuan Anh entered the decisive round with no small pressure from his pursuers, especially Jaemin Park of Korea.

Starting the final day smoothly with birdies at holes 2, 3 and 9, Tuan Anh still maintained his advantage even though Jaemin Park also followed closely with 3 similar birdies.
The match started to get tense when both sides entered the back lane, where the smallest mistake could change the situation. Tuan Anh made a bogey at hole 10, then a double bogey at hole 16, bringing the total score to (-7), while Jaemin Park took advantage of the opportunity to score another birdie at hole 15, reducing the gap to just 1 stroke.
The drama reached its climax in the last two holes. After keeping par at hole 17, Jaemin Park birdied at hole 18 to tie the score, putting Tuan Anh in a position to succeed with a decisive putt from 3 feet away. Under great pressure, the 15-year-old golfer remained steadfast, making an accurate birdie putt to win by a narrow margin, ending the journey with a well-deserved and emotional championship.
Besides Tuan Anh, Doan Uy also played steadily, scoring rounds 68-73-74 to achieve a total score of (+2), ranking 10th overall and 3rd in the U21 men's group. Nguyen Duc Son - the 2024 champion - although unable to defend his title, still played with determination to finish in 20th overall and 5th in the U21 men's group.
The remaining young members such as Ha Nam Khanh, Nguyen Trong Hoang, Ho Anh Huy, Ngo Thanh Son, Tran The Bao, Nguyen Xuan Vuong, Nguyen Quoc Bao Huy, Than Bao Nghi, Nguyen Khanh Linh, Nguyen Bao Chau and Hana Vuong also have valuable experiences, accumulating more international competition skills.
