Matchplay Championship<br />
Chong Zheng Scores A Double<br />
Chia Chong Zheng won both the <strong>Club</strong> Championship and the Matchplay<br />
Championship title last year, a double win for the very first time. This year, the 17<br />
year old had already secured the <strong>Club</strong> Championship in June and, in the Matchplay<br />
Championship for Men held on 18, 19, 25 and 26 July, as the top qualifier, he proved<br />
once again that he was simply the best by<br />
beating the rest to complete his second double<br />
in as many years.<br />
In the knockout rounds, he beat Joe Pereira<br />
by going seven up with five holes to play in<br />
the quarterfinal. In the semifinal, he overcame<br />
Stanley Ang by four and three. It was in the final<br />
that he proved his mettle. After being two holes<br />
down with eight holes to go in the match against<br />
2006 winner Leon See, Chong Zheng took the<br />
next five holes to go two holes clear which he<br />
held on to win on the 17th green.<br />
Leon, who was the second best qualifier, had<br />
reached the final by beating Jimmy Goh in the<br />
quarterfinal by three and one, and sent Gene Kwek packing by winning one up in the<br />
semi-final.<br />
