Quan only scored +5 after three rounds, 10 strokes less than the leader. However, in the last round, the HCMC golfer performed well, achieving seven birdies to shrink the distance between him (-2) and Giang (-5). Needing only four more strokes to make a comeback, he failed to maintain his momentum, losing a point to allow Giang his first VPGA Tour title after going pro less than six months ago.
Quan finished second with a score of -1, as did South Korean golfer Kim Woo-jin. Another South Korean, Park Song-ho, finished third (+1) and Nguyen Huu Thang fourth (+2).
With the title, Giang also won a prize of VND180 million.
Of the 10 amateur golfers who participated in the event, only Vo Gia Thong, who scored +9 and peaked at ninth, made it into the top 10.
Endorsed by Vietnam Professional Golf Association, FLC Vietnam Masters 2020 took place from December 1 to 4 at FLC Golf Links Sam Son in the central Thanh Hoa Province with the participation of 89 golfers, competing for a total prize of VND1 billion ($43,080).
