Nguyen Quoc Bao Huy won stage 7 of VGA Junior Tour 2025: The courage of a 13-year-old golf talent

TPO - Stage 7 of the VGA Junior Tour 2025 ended at Royal Long An Golf & Country Club with a convincing victory for Nguyen Quoc Bao Huy, a 13-year-old golfer from Khanh Hoa.

The start was not very favorable with a round of 77 strokes, but the more Bao Huy played, the more he showed his mettle: a round of 70 strokes in the second round brought him back into the race, and a sublime final round of 68 strokes helped the 13-year-old golfer reach a sweet victory.

Entering the final round in second place, (+3 points), 1 stroke behind Tran The Bao, Bao Huy chose to respond with a confident performance. Right from the first holes, he hit hard and did not give his opponent a chance to approach.

In the first 9 holes, Bao Huy scored birdies at holes 3 and 9, interspersed with a bogey at hole 5. His steady pace helped him take the lead while Tran The Bao encountered some problems at the beginning of the round.

In the next 9 holes, the young talent continued to show remarkable maturity. Without making any mistakes, Bao Huy scored more birdies at holes 11, 13 and 18, completing the round of 68 strokes (-4).

A total score of (-1) after 54 holes helped Nguyen Quoc Bao Huy win the National Youth Tournament System for the second time, after stage 9 of the VGA Junior Tour 2024. Sharing after the match, he said that stability in his tee shots and the ability to take advantage of opportunities on the green were the keys to a complete victory.

More than a month ago at West Lakes Golf & Villas, it was Bao Huy who lost the championship at stage 5 of the VGA Junior Tour 2025. An unfortunate bogey at hole 18 of the final round caused him to lose his advantage and was forced into a play-off with senior Pham The Nam, before losing at the extra hole. That defeat made this journey even more valuable.

The moment he left the 18th green after the “water splashing to welcome the new champion”, Bao Huy ran to hug his father, who has always been present on every course throughout his journey of growing up. That hug contained everything: joy, pride and the persistent story of a boy who is gradually asserting himself in the Vietnamese youth golf scene.
