Nguyen Tuan Anh missed the throne at APGC Junior Championship 2025

TPO - Despite leading throughout the first two rounds, Nguyen Tuan Anh could not maintain his advantage in the final round and had to accept the runner-up position at the APGC Junior Championship 2025.

Nguyen Tuan Anh entered the APGC Junior Championship 2025 in good form, having just won the Faldo Series Asia 2025 at Laguna Golf Lang Co. The 16-year-old golfer continued his impressive form at the continental junior tournament, leading after the first two rounds with scores of 65 and 69 respectively.

In the decisive round on May 29, Tuan Anh started well and maintained his lead with a score of -2 after 9 holes. However, unfortunate mistakes at holes 12 and 15 reduced the gap between him and the chasing group to only 1 stroke.

The drama was heightened in the last two holes when Cooper More - the representative from New Zealand - had a spectacular breakthrough with two consecutive birdies at holes 17 and 18, thereby rising to the top of the rankings with a total score of -9.

Meanwhile, Tuan Anh could not maintain his pace, making another bogey at hole 17 and finishing the round with 72 strokes. With a total score of -7, Tuan Anh had to accept the runner-up position, 2 strokes behind the champion.

In the men's individual event, the remaining representative of Vietnam, Ho Anh Huy, finished the tournament with a total score of +13, ranking 26th overall.

The women's individual event saw Anna Le complete all 3 rounds with a total score of +18. Meanwhile, Nguyen Vu Hoang Anh was forced to withdraw (WD) due to health reasons.

In the team event, both the Vietnamese men's and women's teams finished in 10th place overall.

The APGC Junior Championship is an annual tournament organized by the Asia- Pacific Golf Confederation (APGC), aiming to promote the development of the junior golf movement in the region and create opportunities for young athletes to gain international competition experience.

This year's tournament takes place from May 27-29 at Hong Kong Golf Club (Hong Kong, China), with a 54-hole stroke play format for individual and team scoring.
