AHPGA student Amy Yang, a 16-year-old Korean amateur, steamed ahead of some of the world's finest professionals in the ANZ Australian Ladies Masters Golf Tournament 2006 at Royal Pines.
This was an outstanding performance by young Amy, considering it was only her second appearance in a professional tournament.
She's who has been playing golf for six-and-a-half years, lives on the Gold Coast, not far from the Australian High Performance Golf Academy.I've been coaching her for just over a year, and am proud that she has lived up to our claims of "lower golf scores in record time"!
Amy claimed victory in dramatic style at the ANZ Ladies Masters at Royal Pines Resort, just down the road from the AHPGA, with rounds of 69, 66, 70, 70, for a total of 13-under-par 275

After leading through most of the tournament, Amy eventually won in a gripping one-hole play-off against the 22-year-old American Catherine Cartwright, who recorded rounds of 70, 67, 70, 68, also for a 13-under-par 275 total.
With her victory, Amy has become the first amateur to win a Ladies European Tour event in 22 years, since Gillian Stewart won the IBM European Open at the Belfry in 1984.
...
I did my best," said Yang.
Amy moved to Australia with her family to play golf just 14 months ago, and since her time at the AHPGA, her performance has improved tremendously.
There is now tremendous opportunity for Amy.She will undoubtedly invitations to other prestigious tournaments.This will fit in alongside her schooling at the Robina High School on the Gold Coast, where she is in year 11,.
She has decided to remain as an amateur until she is at least 18 years of age.When she's not being coached at the Australian High Performance Golf Academy , Amy's often seen at the Greg Norman-designed Glades course, where she's a member, and competes off a scratch handicap.
