>Golf Today (GNN): Please tell us how you feel when you win the Vô amateur Vietnamese team?

Truong Chi Quan: I feel proud because I am the first person to win the national championship for three consecutive years. At this year's tournament, I tried very hard because Before practicing at Sacom Tuyen Lam Golf Course, I heard many people say that the course was very difficult, with narrow fairways and very steep greens. However, I was still not satisfied with the final result, because I did not achieve the score goals that I had set. set before the tournament.

GNN: Do you think it is appropriate for the Vietnam Golf Association (VGA), the tournament organizer, to invite foreign athletes to participate? an obstacle for you in this year's tournament?

Truong Chi Quan: In fact, it's the opposite. I feel very happy and excited when I hear that this year's tournament, the Organizing Committee invites more athletes from countries with Golf is developing in Asia to participate. For me, this is really an opportunity to compete at a high level, in a much more competitive atmosphere than previous tournaments. That has stimulated me to have more motivation to compete. I really thank the tournament organizers, VGA, for coming up with this initiative. I am also no stranger to many young golfers from the Philippines and Singapore, because played many international tournaments with them.

GNN: But it was the presence of foreign golfers that ultimately cost him the overall championship trophy, the prestigious trophy first, into the hands of Ruperto Zaragosa III of the Philippines. Through this, do you think that the level of foreign golfers is higher than that of Vietnamese golfers?

Truong Chi Quan: With what happened in this tournament, I don't think Ruperto's level is much higher than mine. Actually, I'm at the same level as Ruperto because we've played many tournaments together, some he won, some I won. But in golf, every week there will be a different winner. I want to congratulate Ruperto on this victory and I hope to compete with Ruperto in the next tournaments. I lost to Ruperto in the category of the Overall Champion Cup this time, perhaps because I was a little unlucky in my birdie putts. But I affirm that it was only because I was a little unlucky in this tournament, not because of inferior level.
