Silver feels like Atienza's biggest win
The Straits Times|May 16, 2022
For three days and 54 holes, Aloysa Atienza kept her cool. But after sinking her final putt yesterday for a seven-under 65 that secured her a silver in women's individual golf, she finally allowed herself to savour the moment.

Silver feels like Atienza's biggest win

The National University of Singapore civil engineering undergraduate, making her Games debut, finished on seven-under 209 at the Heron Lake Golf Course, seven shots behind gold medallist Natthakritta Vongtaveelap (68) of Thailand while Malaysian Jeneath Wong (69) was third on 211.

Atienza, 23, said: “I tried my best to stay emotionless and zen the entire round. Everything just poured out after I made the final putt. Getting silver today felt like the biggest win I've ever had."

Fellow Singaporean Hailey Loh closed with a 73 and was sixth on 217 among 20 participants. Teammate Inez Ng withdrew from the final round after testing positive for Covid-19 on Saturday.
