The first leg of the VGA Junior Tour 2026 Youth Golf Tournament closed on the court in Phu Tho on March 8 with exciting chases in the final round.
With his composure, the young face from Hai Phong, Nguyen Van Hoa, led the U15 men's group with a total score of -5. In the final round, Van Hoa played stably and won -1 after having 3 birdies and completed the match with 71 strokes.
In the final round, Nguyen Bao Phat also chased fiercely to find an opportunity to overcome Van Hoa. Although Van Hoa scored -2 in the final round, but calculating the total points of the whole tournament, this golfer only scored -2. Therefore, Bao Phat ranked second in the overall standings of the tournament.
This year, the Organizing Committee has expanded the U21 male and female group so that golfers have the opportunity to compete. In this group, Pham The Nam achieved a total score of -5 through 3 rounds to be first.
The second position in the group is golfer Dang Le Hoang (+20). The achievements of golfers in the U21 mixed team group are not included in the overall achievements at the tournament, but are still awarded by the Organizing Committee (calculated according to the group) and accumulated points on the world amateur golf ranking system.
