15-year-old golfer wins Tien Phong Golf Championship 2025

MINH PHONG |

Young golfer Nguyen Trong Hoang made a special mark at Tien Phong Golf Championship 2025 when he won the championship for the first time with a score of 71 strokes (-1).

The Tien Phong Golf Championship 2025 ended on November 15 at Thien Duong Golf Course - Legend Valley Country Club (Ninh Binh) in a vibrant atmosphere, marking an important milestone in the career of 15-year-old talent Nguyen Trong Hoang.

Notably, before entering the official competition day, Trong Hoang only had one test session on November 14. Not having played at Thien Duong Stadium made the challenge even bigger, but the golfer born in 2010 still showed good adaptability.

With the maturity to compete, the young golfer surpassed many experienced opponents such as Nguyen Duc Son or Nguyen Viet Gia Han to win the first championship at Tien Phong Golf Championship. This is a proud result after two tournaments in 2022 and 2023 but could not be crowned.

Sharing after the victory, Trong Hoang said that this title was an important boost before leaving for the 33rd SEA Games in Thailand - the congress where this golfer played for the first time for the Vietnam national team.

Previously, at the Vietnam Amateur Open (VAO 2025), Trong Hoang defeated many big names, including the reigning national champion Nguyen Tuan Anh and the 32nd SEA Games champion Le Khanh Hung, becoming the youngest champion in the tournament's history. This achievement also helped Hoang become the first Vietnamese golfer to secure a place at the 33rd SEA Games.

Immediately after that, at the National Golf Championship - Gia Lai 2025, the 15-year-old golfer continued to attract attention when he was in the top 4 finalists.

During the preparation for the SEA Games, Trong Hoang maintained his training at EPGA and Every Golf Academy, perfecting comprehensive techniques from long games to short games. The male player said that the support of his family, coach and professional team was a great source of motivation to help him maintain his concentration and determination.
