Full of prospects
Although born in 2007, the opening event of the VGA Tour 2022 is not the first time Nguyen Anh Minh and Doan Uy have attended the playground of professional golfers. In 2020, when they were only 13 years old, they also tried their hand at the FLC Vietnam Masters. The time of the cut (top 40 golfers competing the best) was beyond expectations, but both were excellent in cutting and left deep impressions on the audience.
At that time, Doan Uy stood out thanks to her sublime rounds, especially the second round with the only player with negative scores. Doan Uy was in the Top 3 of the tournament, surpassing many veteran professional athletes.
At the age of 15, Nguyen Anh Minh, the brave boy, has now become the Top 1 on the Top singles chart of vHandicap - a place to honor the best golfers in Vietnam. Not only that, 2 months ago, Anh Minh was also the leader of the preliminary round of selection for the national golf team to participate in the 31st SEA Games. In addition, young golfers have also won many amateur tournaments such as the Tienphong Golf Championship and the Bamboo Airways Golf Tournament.
2 years later, the two continued to accompany each other at the Lexus Challenge. Not only did they mature physically, but their experience in the battlefield has also become much more experienced.
New seeds
Meanwhile, Le Chuc An and Le Khanh Hung have just passed the age of 14, considered the new seeds of Vietnamese golf. Both of them are holding the record for the youngest athlete of the National Team.
Wishing An to join the women's group of Lexus Challenge is not the most expected golfer, but she possesses something that those who follow her have hope for. That is the obvious progress of this golfer born in 2008 in recent times, most notably his strong rise to take 2nd place on the Top Lady rankings of vHandicap. With a big playground like Lexus Challenge, Chuc An will have the opportunity to practice a strong competitive mentality.
A young face from the South, Khanh Hung was born into a golf-loving family with his father being an athlete Le Van Lan. In 2020, Hung also had the opportunity to "pocket" the Long Thanh Golf Championship, or compete for the leading position in other grassroots tournaments.
There are more than 2 months left until the start of the 31st SEA Games golf tournament. Playgrounds such as Lexus Challenge (7 to 11.3) or National Championship (13 to 17.4) will be a great opportunity for Anh Minh, Doan Uy, Khanh Hung, Chuc An, or other outstanding players such as Doan Xuan Khue Minh, Nguyen Thao My, Nguyen Anh Minh, Nguyen Dang Minh, Tran Lam, Nguyen Quang Tri to test and practice before entering the competition with golfers in the Southeast Asian region, their main goal in 2022.
