<\/p>\nSINGAPORE \u2013 As heavy rain pelted Singapore on June 12, another storm was brewing at Keppel Club as local golfer Troy Storm dazzled during the final round of the Singapore Junior Golf Championship (SJGC) presented by BFG Golf.<\/p>\n
Carding a nine-under 63 to add to earlier rounds of 67 and 69, the teenager registered a 54-hole total of 199, which won him the SJGC A Boys strokeplay title and overall boys\u2019 division championship.<\/p>\n
Troy, who was born to a Danish father and Singaporean mother, said: \u201cThis win is very important for me. The last two years I finished second, so it\u2019s nice to get over the line and finally win this home junior tournament this year.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope to take this momentum to the June 17-19 Asia-Pacific Golf Confederation Junior Championship in Sri Lanka and the US Junior Amateur Championship next month.\u201d<\/p>\n
In both the SJGC A Boys and overall boys\u2019 categories, Australia\u2019s Jackson Leonard (69) placed second, eight shots back, while Thais Takrit Supagonchoowong (68) and Settawut Kenanan (74) were another three shots adrift in joint-third.<\/p>\n
Troy\u2019s win landed him $1,200 and the Singapore Golf Association (SGA) $3,000 as part of a new prize money initiative to support junior player development and strengthen pathways for young golfers.<\/p>\n
The 17-year-old also ended a five-year drought for his home country in his event \u2013 Daryl Low was the last Singaporean to emerge as SJGC overall boys\u2019 champion in 2021, when he also won the boys\u2019 Div 1 for those aged 14 to 16.<\/p>\n

Troy\u2019s victories also earned him an invitation to compete in the 2027 Singapore Open, subject to eligibility requirements.<\/p>\n
SGA national coach Murray Smit said: \u201cWe are extremely proud of Troy\u2019s performances this week. He strung three fantastic rounds together. It is a big win for Singapore golf.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was fantastic to see Chen Xing Tong win the girls\u2019 title last year and we were confident heading into this week we could replicate that on the boys\u2019 side.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are very excited about Troy\u2019s future. There is no doubt he can become one of the best juniors and then collegiate golfers in the world over the next decade.\u201d<\/p>\n
The A Girls strokeplay and overall girls\u2019 division titles went to Hong Kong\u2019s Felicia Hughes (70), who compiled a seven-under 209.<\/p>\n
In both categories, Thailand\u2019s Wirada Tawinsang (69) placed second, two shots back, while Singapore\u2019s Aamiya Koul (70) completed the podium another four shots adrift.<\/p>\n
India\u2019s Zorawar Sandhu (73) won the B Boys strokeplay title with a seven-over 223. He was one stroke ahead of China\u2019s Chen Lixuan (74) and five ahead of third-placed Chan Ahn (74) of the Philippines.<\/p>\n
The B Girls strokeplay event was won by South Korea\u2019s Jane Sim (77), whose 219 was nine shots better than second-placed Singaporean Temperance Tan (78). India\u2019s Sanaya Satapathy (82) was third, another six strokes behind.<\/p>\n
