Maguires are not the only wonder kids making golfing headlines

New Zealand women's open amateur final

is between a 12 year old & a 14-year-old!

Hard on the heels of the astonishing performance of the 14-year-old Maguire twins in the Helen Holm Scottish women's open amateur championship - Leona won the title, sister Lisa was joint third - comes news from Down Under of another wonder golf girl ...
Twelve-year-old Lydia Ko, she had her birthday last Friday, has the opportunity to create history when she contests the final of the New Zealand women's amateur golf championship in Auckland on Tuesday.
Ko would become the youngest winner of the amateur championship and takes on 14-year-old Cecilia Cho (Pakuranga) in the youngest-ever final pairing in the event's 115-year history.
Cho, the South Island amateur champion, beat Australia's Rebecca Flood 5 and 4 in one semi-final while Ko, the North Island champion, held off the challenge from Titirangi's Tania Tare to win 2 and 1.
South Africa's Nicol van Wyk will take on Australia's Matt Jager in the men's final after a dramatic afternoon. Van Wyk, who went to the 19th to beat off compatriot Dean O'Riley in the quarter-final, then edged the world No 1 Scott Arnold (Australia) at the 21st hole in the semi-final.
