National Games: Kho, Ding to lead Hong Kong’s golfers in search of gold at Fanling

Taichi Kho and Ginnie Ding will lead a Hong Kong team of established and rising stars into a National Games challenge that could pit them against some of the best in the world.

With the likes of men’s star Li Haotong, who finished in a tie for fourth at the Open Championship last month, and women’s world No 5 Yin Ruoning among their potential opponents, the city has named a strong squad for November’s tournament, which is being played at Hong Kong Golf Club.

Asian Tour star Kho will be joined by two of his Asian Games bronze medal-winning teammates, Matthew Cheung and Jason Hak Sun-yat, with amateur Jeffrey Shen Wang-ngai completing the foursome.

Ding, who is playing her debut season on the Ladies European Tour, is joined by Olympian Tiffany Chan Tsz-ching, Arianna Lau and Sophie Han.
