Russley golfers to take on world’s best
SPORTS
• By Gordon Findlater
Juliana Hung and Hiroki Miya
from the Russley club will tee
off with the New Zealand team
at the junior golf World Cup in
Japan next month.
They will join Christchurch
club golfer Tom Parker in the
seven-strong team, alongside
Aucklanders Carmen Lim and
Rose Zheng, Kevin Koong
from North Harbour and
Shaun Campbell from Bay of
Plenty.
The selection comes on
the back of what has been
a remarkably successful
12 months for the three
Canterbury golfers.
Miya, who will be part of
the four-strong boys team, is
having a year to remember
after the biggest win of his
young golfing career at
the Faldo Series Asia
grand-final in Vietnam in
March.
“I’m really excited. I think
we have a really strong team
and have an opportunity to do
really well,” said Miya.
Hung will look to continue
a strong run of results in
New Zealand and abroad when
she represents the girls team.

team to tee off at the junior golf World Cup in Japan next month.
The New Zealand stroke
play champion represented
her country last week at
the Queen Sirikit Cup –
Asia-Pacific amateur ladies
golf team championship in
Thailand.
It will be Parker’s second
time competing in the
tournament. Last year he
finished 24th overall and
helped the New Zealand boys
team to finish sixth.
“It’s my favourite event
I’ve ever played in,” said
Parker.
“The course layout is
awesome. It’s perfectly
manicured, narrow with either
tree trouble or out-of-bounds
either side so you’ve got to hit it
straight.”
After finishing his final year
at Christchurch Boys’ High
School in 2017, Parker has
been able to concentrate on his
game before beginning college
at the University of Oregon in
the United States.
With a strong support unit
around him, he’s confident of a
good result in Japan.
“I feel like going back
there this time I have extra
confidence. . . . I’ve been there
before and will be doing a few
things differently this time
around,” said Parker.
The junior golf World Cup
will feature 15 men’s and nine
women’s teams.
The tournament runs from
June 10-15 at the Chukyo Golf
Club Ishino course.
Having three Christchurch
golfers named in the team is
a rare accomplishment and a
strong sign of a talented young
crop of golfers emerging in the
region.
“We are very proud of the
achievement to have Juliana,
Tom and Hiroki selected
to represent New Zealand
at the junior World Cup
event, it’s quite a remarkable
achievement,” said Canterbury
Golf development manager
Rachel Thow.
“These players have
worked hard to earn their
selection in this team and will
gain valuable international
experience amongst some of
the best junior players in the
world.”
