Young golfer to learn from Ko
Shoot-off goes
to Brettkelly
FORMER Christchurch Boys’ High
golfer Dominic Brettkelly won the
Canterbury stroke play in a sudden
death shoot-off.
He, along with Rangiora’s Kazuma
Kobori, were tied on 212 after
three rounds forcing a shoot-off
which Brettkelly won on the second
hole at the Waitikiri Golf Club on
Sunday​. He also won the best under-19
score title.
Burnside High’s Juliana Hung
won the senior women’s title shooting
75, 69 and 68 for a combined 212
six shots ahead of Jeonghyun Lee.
A Canterbury Golf spokeswoman
said the full field of 96 players had
great conditions over the weekend
but also playing a course which was
in excellent condition.
“The field was strengthened with
over 30 entries from outside the
region, predominately due to the enhanced
initiative formed with Otago
and Southland Golf this year,” she
said.
Brettkelly was also the winner of
the inaugural Ron Clement Memorial
Trophy which was presented by
Ron’s wife Rae and daughter Tracy.
“Clements was heavily involved in
the development of junior golf and
so it is fitting that this year we now
have the Ron Clements Memorial
Trophy which is awarded for the
best under-19 boys score,” she said.
OPPORTUNITY: Amelia Garvey will learn from former
world No 1 Lydia Ko in the United States.
IT IS the dream start to the year for
Christchurch golfer Amelia Garvey
with an opportunity to learn from
former world No 1 Lydia Ko in the
United States.
Garvey will travel with Auckland’s
Rose Zheng to Scottsdale in
Phoenix, Arizona and spend time
with Ko, training and playing ​at
one of the most exclusive golfing
establishments in the world after
being offered the scholarship by
New Zealand Golf and Ko.
The former Burnside High student
is ranked No 1 in Canterbury
and ninth in the New Zealand
amateur rankings.
The pair will be with Ko from
Thursday to Saturday learning
about the game they both want to
pursue as a career.
For Garvey, last year was a
success. Her highlights included
winning the New Zealand amateur
stroke play championship and being
the only New Zealand amateur
to make the half-way cut in the
LPGA Tour New Zealand Women’s
Open.
Those performances helped her
secure a golf scholarship to the
University of Southern California
which she will start after her time
with Ko.
Ko, who signed to play with PXG
clubs last year, said the motivation
behind the scholarship is so she can
give back to the game by inspiring
the next generation of females to
strive for the top to see what it
takes to get there and help grow the
Lydia Ko Rose Zheng
number of New Zealanders competing
with her on the LPGA Tour.
Ko is excited at the opportunity
to host Garvey and Zheng and
proud to be able to provide support
back to females in golf to show
recognition of the support she
received along her journey.
“I received support from so many
people as I grew up and I’m proud
to be able to give something back,”
Ko said.
“I am really pleased to be able to
work with New Zealand Golf and
use the scholarship with the intention
to help the next wave of young
golfers rise and compete on the
LPGA Tour.”
Through the Lydia Ko Scholarship,
both New Zealand Golf and
Ko hope to attract more interest
from the emerging talent within
the women’s game.
Last year the recipients of the
scholarship were Alanna Campbell
and Momoka Kobori, of Rangiora,
who have both taken up scholarships
to Iowa State University and
Pepperdine University respectively.
