Indonesia Claims Boys Title At Enjoy Jakarta World Junior Golf Championship

Jakarta, 9 June 2012 - The Indonesian contingent is quite satisfied with winning the individual title in the Boys division, while Thailand took the Boys Team title in the Enjoy Jakarta World Junior Golf Championship at Damai Indah Golf, Pantai Indah Kapuk course, Jakarta, Friday.

Indonesia's Joshua Andrew Wirawan won the Boys individual class at the Enjoy Jakarta World Junior Golf Championship 2012 (EJWJGC), finishing one stroke ahead of Thailand's Dantha Boonma.

Joshua recorded a total of 287 strokes, or one under par (74-76-67-69), during the four-day EJWJGC 2012 .

Meanwhile Danthai scored an even par 288 (71-77-71-69), and had to settle for second place.

"I am pleased to win this championship for the first time," said Joshua after the EJWJGC 2012 closing ceremony at Pantai Indah Kapuk, Jakarta, Friday.

"Previously I would not expect to win in this championship, given our competitors from Thailand and Australia are strong enough," he said.

"I played freely, not influenced by having to win, just wanted to play well," he added.

But overall, Thailand remains the king of the junior tournaments in Indonesia. They collected the Boys Team title with partners Danthai Boonma Putra and Sarit Suwannarut, and in addition brought home five titles in Boys' Class A, B, C and D and Girls' Class C competitions.

Meanwhile Japan won two titles, as Yu Okamura and I Aono brought home the Girls' Team title, while Yu Okamura also took the Girls' Class A title.

Girls' Class B was won by Cheng Chia Ssu from China Taipei, and Class D by Malaysia's Natasha Andrea Oon.

In Boys Class B, Sarit Suwannarut was unstoppable, leading from the first day. The Thai golfer finished the tournament with the title in age group 13-14 years. Although he closed the final day with a score of two over par (74), Sarin's position was not challenged, totaling a score of 290 (73, 73, 70, 74) or two over par.

Meanwhile, Yuwa Kosaihira of Japan had to settle for second place. Despite some impressive play by scoring four strokes under par on Thursday (7/6) and potentially displacing Sarin, on the final day Yuwa only scored 75, and collected 292 total points (74, 75, 68, 75), or two strokes behind Sarin.

The third place was taken by Malaysia's Rosidin Emilio Solomon who suddenly thrust into third place, displacing Cao Sen of Taiwan. Solomon finished with a total score of 301 (81, 77, 71, 72).
