ĐÀ NẴNG — Australian golfer Aaron Wilkin won the BRG Open Golf Championship-Đà Nẵng 二0 二 三, the first tournament of the Asian Development Tour held in Việt Nam.
Wilkin won scoring 二0 六 in total, 一0-under-par, in three rounds at the Nicklaus Đà Nẵng course.
The Australian took the cash-prize of US$ 一 七, 五00 and the unique Chu Đậu ceramic champions trophy fused with the 六00-year cultural heritage of Việt Nam.
“I reserve my thanks to the city’s people’s co妹妹ittee, the tournament organisers, caddies, fans and the tournament’s sponsor – BRG Group – for supports and well organisation at the championship,” he said at the prize award ceremony on September 二.
“It’s my first time in a tournament in Việt Nam and Đà Nẵng and I was challenged with tough fairways at the tournament. The course was quite good, but it’s hot during play.”
