Never before has there been an Australian Amateur Championship winner from Japan, but now we have two.<\/p>\n
The time-honoured titles, presented by Swinging Skirts, were whisked to the Land of the Rising Sun by firstly Suzuka Yamaguchi with an awe-inspiring performance in a 6&5 win over the highly fancied Ayean Cho.<\/p>\n
And less than an hour later, another impressive performance culminated in victory for Keita Nakajima in the men\u2019s division, bowling over the nominal favourite David Micheluzzi 4&3.<\/p>\n
Yamaguchi was, remarkably, 12 under par through the final\u2019s 31 holes, rolling in two eagles and 10 birdies in a display belying her tender 17 years.\u00a0 Suzuka and Keita were presented with their trophies in the club’s Main Bar on Sunday 21st January.\u00a0 Congratulations to them both and to our members from LKCC who took part.\u00a0 For more information including final scores, please click on this link<\/a> to visit the Golf Australia website.<\/p>\n We are excited to advise that our very own Joe Owen won his match on the 19th hole today (18th Feb) against Gian-Marco Petrozzi from England. Joe tees off at 8:10am tomorrow (Friday 19th Feb) against Hayden Gulliver from NSW.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t
