| Pupil chalks up back-to-back victory to secure top spot Posted: 13 Apr 2013 06:35 AM PDT FAVOURITE Natasha Andrea Oon of Kuala Lumpur retained her national schools (MSSM) girls' Under-12 title at the Dalit Bay Golf and Country Club in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, over the recent week-long school holiday. And the Sri Cempaka, Damansara Heights pupil chalked up her back-to-back victory in convincing fashion. Following her courageous fight-back to secure the top spot in her age-group at the MSSM last season, Natasha flexed her domination as she led from start to finish. En route to victory, Natasha carded a 22-over 238 (77-78-83) after three rounds of 18 holes. She got off to a good start with a healthy five-stroke lead after the opening round on the par-72 course and went on to stretch her advantage to 11 strokes on penultimate day. "Going into the competition, I knew that I was one of the serious medal contenders. I did not feel the pressure but it was a totally different feeling staying at the top in maintaining my position. It was a perfect opportunity for me to adjust to the demands and take on the challenges as the leader of the pack," she added. Despite reducing her winning advantage to four strokes in the decisive final round, Natasha did enough to protect her top spot. "After a consistent display in the second round, I was on the right track to defend the title. I was confident that I was getting closer to accomplishing my goal of bagging the gold medal again. On the final day, I could hardly get my game going and struggled especially with the important second shot in directing the ball to stay on the green. Although it was a poor 11-over effort for the final round, I am glad to walk away with the win," she said. Natasha completed her fruitful outing with a birdie at the par-five 14th hole from the second round and repeated a similar feat in the third round. Natasha, who trains under the care of Lim Siew Ai at the Impact Elite Academy, said it was a great experience to tackle the scenic course for the first time. "I had two practice rounds and a day of rest before the tournament. I had the impression that it was going to be tough to overcome the long and narrow fairways. Soaking up the tranquil atmosphere around the course was an added bonus for competing there," she added. |
