Kristin Golfer wins World Championship
Kristin Year 8 student Victoria Xin is now a golf world champion after winning the IMG World U12 Championship in the United States of America.
Played on the Heights Golf Course in San Diego; Victoria shot impressive scores of 69, 69 and 72 to win the three-round tournament by two shots over 90 golfers from all over the world.
Victoria won selection by New Zealand Golf to compete at this pinnacle event and made history as the first Kiwi golfer ever to win it.
To put in perspective the level of this achievement, Lydia Ko placed 2nd in the same age category in 2009, and Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson are both previous winners of the boys’ event.
Kristin is incredibly proud of Victoria’s remarkable achievement on the world stage.
