\u201cIt\u2019s cool to know that we\u2019ve won four times and to follow on the legacy and history that New Zealand\u2019s had in the Interstate.<\/p>\n
\u201cHopefully, from this opportunity it can grow into bigger things between Golf New Zealand and Golf Australia.\u201d<\/p>\n
It\u2019s the first time the Kiwis have featured in the girls\u2019 event, which dates back to 1977, lifting the trophy on debut, while the eight-player team secured the overall title in the fifth edition of the combined event.<\/p>\n
Teresa Wang remained undefeated with five wins and a draw, with her most important victory coming against Victoria\u2019s Amelia Harris in the final round to help seal the girls\u2019 trophy.<\/p>\n
It was a timely rematch after Wang had led last week\u2019s Australian Junior Amateur by four shots heading into the final round, before Harris overtook her to claim the title.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m very happy and I\u2019m really proud of all our teammates,\u201d Wang said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was pretty nervous this morning because of what happened last week, but it feels good to get the win this time.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a very fun and really good learning experience watching other people from the different states in Australia play.\u201d<\/p>\n
New Zealand\u2019s inclusion has lifted the standard of junior team match play, with their strong development programme providing high-level opposition, raising standards for Australian players and offering earlier exposure to international competition.<\/p>\n
In the final round, Victoria posed New Zealand\u2019s toughest challenge, handing them their first draw of the week to finish runner-up, while Western Australia\u2019s 6.5-1.5 win over South Australia saw them finish third on countback of individual matches after finishing level on points with Victoria.<\/p>\n
Three Kiwis went through undefeated, with Wang and Amy Tang winning five and halving one, while Ricky Kang extraordinarily won all seven matches without a rest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cIt\u2019s cool to know that we\u2019ve won four times and to follow on the legacy and history that…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":613038,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[566],"tags":[10968,1929,64,63,81,12607,22279,11558,297674,755,94842,1899,11141,84993,8835,29602,25723,647,297676,2652,8080,85,38808,9673,10020,320,13807,297675,8045,3205],"class_list":{"0":"post-613037","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-10968","9":"tag-at","10":"tag-au","11":"tag-australia","12":"tag-australian","13":"tag-clean","14":"tag-competition","15":"tag-complete","16":"tag-completed","17":"tag-golf","18":"tag-golfers","19":"tag-have","20":"tag-interstate","21":"tag-junior","22":"tag-kiwi","23":"tag-links","24":"tag-matches","25":"tag-melbourne","26":"tag-moonah","27":"tag-on","28":"tag-south","29":"tag-sports","30":"tag-stunning","31":"tag-sweep","32":"tag-teams","33":"tag-the","34":"tag-three","35":"tag-trophies","36":"tag-up","37":"tag-zealand"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/613037","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=613037"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/613037\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/613038"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=613037"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=613037"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=613037"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
