Jeneath Wong has made history in Malaysian golf by brilliantly winning the Women's Amateur Asia - Pacific Championship (WAAP) 2025 with a total score of (-18). Not only Defining the class of a champion, her victory became even more meaningful thanks to the companionship of her Vietnamese caddie, Phan Thi Hoai Thuong – who played a crucial role in her journey to conquer this title.

The spirit of a champion

Despite being closely pursued by Soomin Oh throughout the final round, Wong maintained an unwavering spirit. Upon entering the par-3 17th hole, she unleashed a decisive shot, stopping the ball just centimeters from the hole, easily scoring a birdie to take a one-stroke lead. At the par-5 18th hole, Oh had an eagle opportunity with a putt from 35 feet, but failed to capitalize. Meanwhile, Wong executed a precise chip, landing the ball just 4 feet from the flag. She closed out the match with a solid birdie putt, officially claiming the WAAP 2025 championship with a total score of (-18), two strokes ahead of Oh.

The special story of Caddie

In the journey to conquer the Waap 2025 title, the mark of Phan Thi Hoai Thuong - a highly experienced Vietnamese caddie at Hoiana Shores Golf Club - is undeniable. A thorough understanding of the course terrain and unwavering support gave Jeneath Wong a crucial advantage on her path to the championship trophy. From the very first rounds, Hoai Thuong not only guided Wong but also provided strong emotional support. Her accurate advice and timely encouragement helped her maintain consistent performance. In particular, in the final round, when Wong made a crucial birdie on the 17th hole, Hoai Thuong couldn't hide her emotions, hugging Wong tightly in overwhelming joy.

The moment tears of joy fell on the course was not only the excitement of reaching glory but also a testament to a journey full of connection, where the understanding between golfer and caddie created an emotional victory.
