The short course, par 69 was the perfect condition for Ikeda to shine. The representative of the Philippines won 13 strokes and received the Lydia Ivana Memorial Golf Tournament Queen crown and a prize of 12 million rupiah (more than 22 million VND).
The tournament also raised 150 million rupiah (over 277 million VND) from donations and auctions of the female golfer's memorabilia. This money will be transferred to four charitable funds that Ivana sponsored during her lifetime.
Ms. Nhung is a member of the Ladies Asian Golf Tour and the Lydia Ivana Memorial Game is a tournament held in memory of a close friend, Indonesian professional golfer Lydia Ivana Jaya, who passed away on June 17 due to pneumonia. The game is scored and is part of the LAGT system.
