New South Wales’ Sarah Oh, has won junior golf’s most coveted title, the MasterCard Junior Masters golf tournament, held at The Vines Resort and Country Club, Perth, this week.

The rising star of golf triumphed over a highly competitive field of 99 outstanding junior golfers to win the 'priceless' opportunity to compete against the world’s best in a professional tournament later this year. Sarah will compete in the ANZ Ladies Masters at Queensland’s Royal Pines Golf Course in early 2007.
Sarah demonstrated technical excellence and maturity beyond her years to defeat some of the best golfers from around Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Taiwan, the Philippines and South Africa. 

Natalie Lockwood, vice president, Marketing, Asia/Pacific, Middle East and Africa, MasterCard Worldwide said, “MasterCard is a proud supporter of golf and is dedicated to giving its support to the development of up-and-coming players through its sponsorship of this tournament.  The MasterCard Junior Masters not only provides young golfers with the opportunity to play against the best in the world, but also provides them with a stepping stone to a professional career in golf.”
“We would like to congratulate Sarah for her outstanding achievement and wish her well in all her future sporting pursuits,” Lockwood said.
MasterCard Junior Masters golf tournament Chairman Wayne Smith said, “Sarah has not only shown great athletic ability but has also demonstrated great sportsmanship. The future of golf is certainly in safe hands and I look forward to following Sarah’s golfing career with great interest.”

The MasterCard Junior Masters golf tournament returned to the Vines Resort, Perth for its third successful year.  This year’s tournament took place from 15 – 21 May.
