Azry Wins 100Plus Malaysian Junior Open 2011

Subang: Unassuming Muhammad Azry Asyraf Noor Azam claimed another big scalp today after edging past experienced national amateur Low Khai Jei on the second extra hole to clinch the 100PLUS Malaysian Junior Open title.

The 16-year-old Kulim lad, who sprung to national prominence after lifting the Perak Amateur Open in June this year, took a one-shot lead after the completion of the rain-delayed second round this morning at Saujana Golf & Country Club.

After a jittery start to his final round with a double bogey on the first, Azry composed himself, mixing three birdies against three bogeys to finish regulation play on two-over 74 and level on four-over 220 with Khai Jei, who matched the final round’s best with a closing even-par 72.

With the dark clouds gathering fast and drops of rain falling every now and then, Azry kept his cool to sink a one-foot birdie on the second play-off hole at the par-5 18th to clinch victory over the Lion City Cup individual champion. A tiring Jeremiah Kim, who suffered cramps on the 13th hole, shared third place with Indonesia’s Joshua Andrew Wirawan on six-over 222.

Dottie Ardina emerged the third Filipina golfer to claim the girls’ overall title with a total of four-over 220. The 16-year-old from Manila blew up with a poor nine-over 81 today but did enough over the first two days to win the title by four strokes from India’s Aditi Ashok (76). Defending champion Sarah Ababa finished third alongside Malaysia’s Loy Hee Ying with a score of 11-over 227.

Dottie’s five-under 67 on the opening day meant she was the only girl to score under par at the tough Palm ‘Cobra’ Course.
