BUKIT JALIL GOLF & COUNTRY RESORT JUNIOR SINGLES BADMINTON OPEN 2013

L to R : Mak Min Hsien, Darren Tan, Ryan & Aaron

Ryan finally nailed his first title after overcoming his brother Aaron in the final of the boys singles U12 in 3 sets. With a stroke of luck as well, in an energy sapping semi-final vs his fellow compatriot Darren Tan, Ryan with sore muscle overcame Darren also suffered muscle cramps in 3 sets.

Both had a hectic back to back tournaments in the same week starting with Hooi Yee Sports, Selangor Closed and Putra Jaya Closed, came into this home club tournament with tired limbs and sore muscles.

Although, this is a small victory for Ryan, it is truly a satisfying win for him after all the pressure mounted on him to perform. He can now relish this little moment of triumph but not for long as he has bigger battles yet to come. Stay tuned for more.
