WORLD NO 2 GIRL AMATEUR SU-HYUN OH WINS VICTORIAN GIRLS TITLE

World No 2 female amateur Su-Hyun Oh, South Korean-born, Melbourne-based teenger, has won the Victorian girls' amateur championship Kingston Heath Golf Club.

It was Oh's second successive win in the tournament.
The 17-year-old beat Minjee Lee 3 and 2.
Oh was the leading qualifier for the match-play stages of this year's Ladies British Open Amateur Championship at Machynys GC, South Wales but lost in the second round, by 5 and 3, to Lisa Maguire (Slieve Russell).
At 12, Oh, pictured by Cal Carson Golf Agency at Machynys last June, was the youngest player to qualify for the women's Australian Open. Earlier this year, she tied for second at the 2013 Australian Ladies Masters and has also been in the US for recent tournaments.
''I had to get used to competing at a young age and the competitiveness that comes along with it,'' said Oh. ''I wasn't used to it but it was a great experience to prepare me for now.''
Next up for Oh is the  Australia amateur championships to be held in South Australia from January 14-19.
Oh aims to turn pro with the aim ''to be the best in the world''.
