A 9 year old filipina Mia Legaspi got the third world crown in Golf

Mia Legaspi is the world champion of the girls’ 9-under division of the United States Kids World Championships at the Longleaf Golf Club in Pinehurst, North Carolina.Legaspi, a fourth-grader at St. Paul’s College in Pasig City, shot a final round one-under-par 35, for a two-stroke victory over American Haley Moore.It was the third world crown for the precocious Legaspi, who also has titles in the Callaway Junior Worlds (2006) and in the 8-under division of this same tournament last year.The annual event saw players coming from a total of 35 countries and other American states, making Legaspi’s triumph even sweeter as it erased the stigma of a disappointing joint seventh place finish in the junior world.Legaspi led from start to finish, opening up with a two-under 34 over the Longleaf complex’s second nine. There are a lot of Filipinos who have potential talent in sports but not all have the chance to enhance or practice their ability due to high cost of training, only Filipinos who belong to the middle and upper class family can do and participate sports league will only excel.
