Son overcame 20 golfers with a result of three-over 287 to top the ranking table. He has become the first Vietnamese winner of the tournament, marking a brilliant 2023 season for the 15-year-old.

According to coach Bach Cuong Khang, the golf movement and quality of Vietnam has strongly developed, evidenced through the team's one gold and one silver and the 32nd SEA Games in May and the achievement in this tournament.

He said that the tournament brought together almost all strong amateur golfers from Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, and Singapore, among others.

This was the best result for Vietnam at the tournament. The team did not win any medals in previous attempts.
