\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":384494,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[2246,1975,1135,40834,4596,3381,5907,18480,305,199536,26588,194,2442,13085,123,199537,111,139,69,90,1240,213,12825,6564,4412,223,1529,96151,810,80],"class_list":["post-384493","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-2246","tag-at","tag-australian","tag-clean","tag-competition","tag-complete","tag-completed","tag-golfers","tag-have","tag-interstate","tag-junior","tag-kiwi","tag-links","tag-matches","tag-melbourne","tag-moonah","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz","tag-on","tag-south","tag-sports","tag-stunning","tag-sweep","tag-teams","tag-the","tag-three","tag-trophies","tag-up","tag-zealand"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/384493","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=384493"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/384493\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/384494"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=384493"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=384493"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=384493"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
