Juliana Hung (洪玉霖) lifted her sixth TLPGA Tour trophy, following July’s Jing-Mao Ladies Open victory, today at the Ta Shee Golf Club.

Hung needed four play-off holes to finally send Liang Yi-Ling (梁宜羚) down to a second-place finish. This is the second straight Heritage Tour event where Liang finishes as the runner-up.

Hung was no stranger to earning things the hard way and winning on extended holes. The 21-year-old clinched her maiden Tour title two years ago at the KENDA Tire TLPGA Open after a seven-hole play-off. Now, she has held six titles already, with a first taste of success in the Heritage Tour series.

“I did not think I would have the lowest score when I finished. So, I came a little unprepared during the play-off. I got lucky here,” said a humble Hung, who played in the fourth to last group today.

Hung finished the regular round with a 2-under 70, and was asked to return to the par-4 18th for a tie-breaker with Liang, who later carded a 71 to share the top place of the leaderboard on 1-under 143.

The tie remained unbroken after Hung and Liang shot six straight pars on the 18th hole.

Both players moved to the 3rd tee as the fourth play-off hole began. And it was where Liang made a crucial mistake ---she carried the tee shot long and left, leaving her with a challenging 11-foot par putt, which she failed. Hung calmly secured a par to claim the victory.

The Heritage Tour concept were developed to provide a platform for the young golfers to closely interact with the pros and pick up valuable learning experience.

“There’s a different vibe in the Heritage Tour events, as we are playing with the junior players. I’m glad that I get to collect a win here,” said Hung.
