China’s Li Yulu captured the overall championship at the 20th edition of the Faldo Junior Tour’s event in China, firing rounds of 75-77-73 for a three-day total of 225 (+9) at Mission Hills in Shenzhen. The Girls 13-16 division winner posted the lowest score among all competitors across the three age categories, earning her place as the tournament’s top performer.

Given the challenging conditions, the victory at Mission Hills was extremely impressive, as consistent scoring proved difficult throughout the week. Li’s final-round 73 was her best of the tournament and helped her secure a 10-stroke victory over her nearest competitor in the girls’ division.

With the win, Li earned an invitation to the Faldo Junior Tour’s Asia Grand Final next April at Laguna Lang Co in Vietnam, where she’ll compete against the best junior golfers from across Asia.

The Boys 21 & Under division produced the tournament’s tightest finish. Hong Kong’s Ngo Hin Deng took the title with rounds of 81-73-80 for 234 (+18), edging China’s Shenxin Yang by just one stroke. Yang, who opened with a promising 76, finished with 76-75-84 for 235 (+19). Ngo’s second-round 73 proved crucial, as it gave him the cushion he needed to withstand a difficult final day.

Chinese players Yezhuoxuan and Lee shared third place at 243 (+27). Yezhuoxuan showed strong improvement as the tournament progressed, closing with his best round of 76 after posting 86-81 in the opening rounds. Lee took the opposite trajectory, opening with 75 before finishing with 85-83.

In the Boys 16 & Under category, Hong Kong’s Luo Chunting demonstrated his remarkable consistency, posting identical rounds of 77 each day for a total of 231 (+15). His steady approach paid dividends on a course that punished erratic play. China’s Wang Chun Ling and Caohaishu tied for second at 232 (+16), each finishing just one shot behind Luo. Wang Chun Ling posted the division’s best single round with a second-day 73, while Caohaishu’s scores of 76-75-81 reflected the challenging nature of the layout.

Beyond overall winner Li Yulu, the Girls 13-16 division saw China’s Tammy finish second with rounds of 78-80-77 for 235 (+19). The battle for third place resulted in a tie between China’s Zhang Ruonan and New Zealand’s Shanyuxi Nikkie Liu, both finishing at 236 (+20). Zhang Ruonan posted 79-81-76, while Liu recorded 79-76-81.

The 20th edition of the Faldo Junior Tour in China continues the event’s tradition of providing competitive opportunities for junior golfers across Asia. All division winners received invitations to compete at the Asia Grand Final in Vietnam next April, where they’ll have the opportunity to test themselves against the region’s top junior talent.
