Hong Kong girl golfer aged 10 hits two holes-in-one in one round

Hong Kong - A schoolgirl aged 10 has scored an astonishing golfing feat by hitting two holes-in-one on the same round at a Hong Kong course, a news report said Thursday.
Tiana Lau sank both shots from around 83 metres on the second and seventh holes of the course at the Hong Kong Clearwater Bay Golf and Country Club on Monday, the South China Morning Post reported.
Lau, a junior squad member of the Hong Kong Golf Association, 'jumped for joy' when the second hole-in-one went in, said her mother Irene, who was caddying for her daughter.
But there would be no special celebrations for the Chinese International School pupil, her mother insisted. 'It was just luck and we don't want to make a big deal of this,' she told the newspaper.
'After all, she has an elder brother who has been playing longer and has yet to hit a hole-in-one. We have to think about his feelings too.'
Lau, who has never before managed a hole-in-one, hit her holes-in-one during a practice round at the golf club's Executive Nine par-three layout course.

I had the pleasure of playing a few rounds with Tiana in 2004 in Hong Kong. Her ability and determination as a future member of the LPGA were evident. Already professional women golfers are beginning to copy her form and swing. Tiger Woods has also contacted her to assist him with the mental part of the game. Congratulations Tiana
