Shanghai: After getting snowed out the previous month, the Silport Monthly Medal returned with a vengeance in March with some intense competition over the Center and East course layouts.

The strength of the club’s mainland players was evident as Hua Liang carded a nett 72.7 to take the Group A honor, just ahead of Zhang Yin (nett 74.3). In Group B, Hae Han topped the table with a nett 79.5. Despite her outstanding performance, since the Korean-American had won one of the monthly medals in the January event, mainlander Rex Chiang, the runner-up, was named the group winner with a nett score of 80.2.

Also among the winners that day were Taiwan’s Johnny Chen who claimed the longest drive on the East No. 9, and fellow Taiwanese Benjamin Tuan who had the nearest-the-pin on the Center No. 8. Peter Koo was the lucky draw prize-winner. The monthly nett champion and first runner-up of each division qualify for the year-end Monthly Medal finale.
