Daniel Cho takes out the Greg Norman Junior Masters Golf Tournament
18 February 2019. Manly, Brisbane:
During the recent holidays, Moreton Bay Boys’ College Year 9 student Daniel Cho won the 13 and under age group at the Greg Norman Junior Masters Golf Tournament played on the Gold Coast. The Greg Norman Junior Masters is an Australian Junior Ranking Event conducted by Golf Queensland which attracts some of the best junior golfers from across the country and the world. Daniel shot rounds of 79, 66, 73 and 72 to win by two strokes. He also finished 6th overall in the 18 years age group.
After playing strongly throughout 2018, Daniel increased his training schedule to prepare for the competition.
“I’ve been practising after school nearly every day and playing every weekend at Indooroopilly Golf Club,” said Daniel “It felt really good to win”.
Daniel hopes that if he can continue to perform at this level, a professional golfing career is in his future.
“Daniel has been an outstanding ambassador for MBBC sport. We’re very proud of him” said Mr Scott Emblen, Director of Sport at Moreton Bay Boys’ College “This win is a genuine reflection of his hard work and dedication to his sport. With a handicap of 1 at such a young age, I am sure Daniel will go on to experience great success in his golfing career. We’re all behind him cheering him on”.
It’s great to see students venturing outside of the traditional sports and succeeding,” said Mr Peter Foster, Head of Co-Curriculum at Moreton Bay Boys’ College “We’re excited to see how Daniel performs in his events this year.”
Daniels next event is the Australian Boy’s Amateur Championship on April 10th-13th at Southport Golf Club.
