KIL, HICKEL SECURE SPOTS IN GRAND FINAL WITH MAY MONTHLY MEDAL WINS Shanghai: Kil Su-cho and Werner Hickel secured their spots in the Grand Final to determine Silport’s ！first ever club champion with solid performances in the May monthly medal.

Playing under sunny and hot conditions over the East and Center courses, Kil, a 16 handicap, shot an 11-over 83 for a nett 67 to win the Group A low nett, just ahead of 11.2 handicap Bernd Ruschmeyer who finished with a nett 69.8 after a nine-over 81 round.

In Group B, Hickel carded a 91 for a nett 66, followed by runner-up Hea Hahn with a nett 68. As Hahn had already qualified for the Grand Final by virtue of her Group B nett win in March, second runner-up Lee Ha Kyu (gross 88, nett 68.4) automatically received a spot in the December championship.

Other honors on the day saw Chen Jing out hit all the men with a 220-yard blast for the long drive prize on the East Course’s seventh hole, while Lin Jianmin won the nearest-to-the-pin award when he put his ball within four feet of the cup on Silport’s signature hole, the Center Course No. 8.

Jerry Tu won the lucky draw prize when longtime absentee member Chen Baolang pulled his name out of the hat among the 31 players entered.
