Adam Shaw of Canada clinched the inaugural Boys U-18 RSGC AmBank Junior Amateur Open Golf Championship 2012 by a massive 17 strokes, scoring a three-day total of 213, finishing three under par last week.
Playing at The Royal Selangor Golf Club (RSGC), Shaw who is half Malaysian from his mother’s side, also carded the day’s lowest score of 68 in today’s penultimate round.
Malaysian Mohammed Izad who was trailing in third place yesterday, was tied with a total score of 230 with Nick Ang but finished higher on countback. The tournament was played on a strokeplay format.
“I am pleased to win the RSGC AmBank Junior Amateur Open Golf Championship 2012 and it has certainly boosted my confidence. The win may look easy but I had to work hard for it,” said Shaw who resides in Canada but holidays frequently in Malaysia.

Do we have enough content to last at least 13 episodes of half hour program?
Once you've answered that....do we have enought interesting content, not the 'asal boleh, janji ada bunyi ada gambar' type of content.
Honestly, local golf scene doesn't have enough content to merit its own show. Don't tell me you're looking at 'macam mana nak swing' as part of the content. Manuals type of content are suitable for 'straight to DVD' as the interested party would only watch it when he's free. Blame it on the remote control, Megan Fox on other channel might distract one's interest unles he/she is appearing on tv. BUt then again, there's no harm trying. BTW, are u hinting that some party might be interested in it?

muteaudio,
why not?
but it requires massive workforce, man hours and technical support to cover the various tournaments in Malaysia. we should highlight local golfers and local tournaments more...
there's senior tourneys, junior tourneys, many golf clubs...
when there's a way, there's a will...
btw...not hinting anything...
err , rizal , the problem is , many msians often see golf as rich man sport , so how a golf tv show can changed this perception ?
and btw , i nvr play golf b4 .
bear
Rizal...How about an hours program on sports in schools....You will never run out of episodes....need to be creative. But our sports media are not; only good at highlighting shortcomings if they don't get their way!
