Young Filipino wins amateur championship

BEIJING - Ma Andrea Victoria of the Philippines remained steady in windy conditions to win the women's title at the Fangshan Changyang China Amateur Golf Championship on Sunday at the Beijing California County Golf Club.

China's Wang Ziyi was well in contention after hitting four birdies on the front nine, but succumbed to the 16-year-old Filipino; hitting a double bogey on hole 14 to finish second and a stroke back at even-par, for a three round total of 216 shots.

It was a sweet revenge for Andrea after she lost to Wang at the HSBC junior tournament in January.
