Xu Longyi, who performed brilliantly in the first three days, led the Chinese Taipei’s Hong Jianyao by 3 strokes before today’s finale with a score of 192, which was 24 shots below the standard. South Korea’s Chang Yubin was temporarily ranked third with a score of 20 shots below the standard. Xu Longyi, who started in the same group as Chang Yu-bin and Thai golfer Atiruj Winaichiaroenchai this morning, was in a slightly weaker state. He only caught a “birdie” in the first six holes and over-pared one hole. However, he managed to maintain a slight lead by making two consecutive “birdies” on the seventh and eighth holes. An incident occurred during the eighth hole. Xu Longyi and Zhang Yubin also hit the ball to the asphalt road. Zhang’s caddy mistakenly stepped on Xu Longyi’s ball when the two were positioning, and finally the ball was thrown away after the referee intervened. Putting it back to the original position and continuing the game, Xu Yongyi also successfully caught this “birdie”, finishing the front nine holes 2 shots ahead of Im Sungjae, another Korean golfer who was catching up from behind. Hong Kong played the back nine holes steadily and scored a “birdie”. Although he was chased by Im Sungjae to a slight gap of 1 stroke after the 17th hole, Xu Longyi withstood the pressure and successfully passed from second place. Maintaining the leading position at the beginning of the round, the Hong Kong team won the Asian Games golf gold medal for the first time.
During the eighth hole, Xu Yongyi pointed out that Chang Yubin’s caddy accidentally stepped on his ball.

Unfortunately, they were chased by the Thai team. In the end, the Hong Kong team only ranked first. One shot behind, but still able to secure a men’s team bronze medal.
