: Jacob Cajita of the Philippines and South Korea’s Jung Min Seo bagged the boys’ and girls’ individual titles respectively following an exciting final round at the 2nd Selangor International Junior Golf Championship today.
With Cajita up by one, Kartik found the green in two at the closing hole but left himself a long, uphill eagle putt. The 17-year-old Cajita overshot the green with his second shot and was left with a tricky chip to a tight pin, where anything overhit would have fed to the slope and rolled some distance away.
Kartik was magnanimous in defeat, saying: “I tried my best, but Jacob was just making everything! On the 15th hole, he had a very long putt for par from about 30 feet, so I thought I could finally tie him, and he made the putt! Having opened up an eight-shot lead after 36 holes with rounds of 70 and 68, Jung had looked to be on cruise control for the title. However, the 16-year-old Korean opened the door for the rest of the field with an uncharacteristically poor display of ball striking en route to a closing 78.
“My irons and my putting were absolutely crazy today; everything was going in! Most of my birdies were from within 15 feet and it was great. It’s a fantastic event and I enjoyed competing with players from overseas,” said Wang.
