Adam Arif Madzri stayed strong as last year’s champion Zubair Firdaus crumbled in the 12^th AmBank SportExcel International Junior Golf Championship on 7^th December 2017.

The Selangor born golfer recorded two under par 70 on the third day to collect par 216, followed by the defending champion Zubair Firdaus with two under par 218 while K.Rhaarikanesh and Sheikh Abd Razak Sheikh Rawof recorded two under par 219 that were tied on third place.

“Zubair was playing well and lead on the first day. I think the pressure got to him and then had a poor game and I managed to take the lead. I was unlucky on the first day but played very well today (third day). The praise by the Prime Minister of Malaysia, Datuk Seri Najib Abdul Razak at the Golf for Shaaban Charity Game Championship last year spurred me to do better on the second day and last day”, said Adam.

The next event for Adam Arif is the 100Plus Malaysian Junior Open 2017 that held from 11^th until 14^th December 2017 at Glenmarie Golf and Country Club.
