'The comeback was on': Young Oak Bay golfer shoots sizzling 66 to win national title
The 10-year-old Victoria Golf Club member closed with a career-low 66 and overcame a five-shot deficit to win by four strokes.
- Victoria Golf Club member Liam Chang won the Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour Mini Tour Nationals on Aug. 31, firing a four-under-par 66 at Tsawwassen Springs to secure the boys nine-and-10 division title.
- Trailing by five strokes early in the round, Chang mounted a comeback by relying on his father Gerald's advice to play "one shot at a time." The early double-bogey had briefly put him far behind the leader with 17 holes remaining.
- Chang finished the two-day tournament with a 36-hole total of 139, four strokes ahead of runner-up Robin Lai at 143. The round included seven birdies and 15 of 18 greens hit in regulation, marking his lowest score ever.
- The national title win qualifies Chang for the 2027 Champion of Champions World Championship at Lough Erne Resort in Northern Ireland. The event will feature 250 competitors from 40 countries, providing significant international exposure.
- Continuing his winning streak, Chang has won all six Callaway Junior Tour events this season while pursuing his ultimate goal of playing for Stanford University. His focus and consistency demonstrate the discipline required for international competition.
