The hole that made the female golfers 'stumble' on the first day of the National Golf Championship - Gia Lai 2025

TPO - On the opening day of the women's tournament of the National Golf Championship - Gia Lai 2025, hole number 9 par 4 became a hot spot when many expected faces continuously "took the stick".

Starting from hole 10 in the same group as Than Bao Nghi, Nguyen Vu Hoang Anh (Am) created the biggest surprise of round 1 with 1 eagle, 3 birdies and at many times led the rankings.

However, an unfortunate double bogey at hole 9, the last hole of the day, caused her to close the round with 77 strokes (+5), dropping to T7. Than Bao Nghi could only keep par at this hole.

In the group that followed, veteran golfer Ngo Bao Nghi, current runner-up Nguyen Viet Gia Han and former national player Le Thi Thanh Thuy all stopped with a bogey at hole 9.

Runner-up Nguyen Viet Gia Han faced a challenge on the last hole.

Hole 9 continued to prove its harshness when the group that started late in the morning, including Nguyen Thao My, Doan Xuan Khue Minh and Le Chuc An, could not score negative.





Le Chuc An kept par on this hole, while Thao My and Khue Minh had to accept double bogeys, ending the round in regret.

The left-curving green and uneven slope make the par-4 9th hole a big challenge, forcing golfers to change their tactics. And in round 1, that was the “breaking point” that prevented a series of strong female candidates from breaking through.
