Zurich sponsors Asian Amateur Championship in golf for the 7th year

October 2015 is a month filled with golf events for Zurich. The Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship (AAC) was held for the first time in Hong Kong during 1-4 October 2015 at the Clearwater Bay Golf & Country Club. Zurich has been a proud partner of the event since its inaugural year in 2009.

The AAC, which featured 120 of the best golfers from the 39 Asia-Pacific Golf Confederation affiliated organizations, is considered an elite event by the World Amateur Golf Ranking in that those who reach the final stage is eligible to be ranked. The championship has also produced a number of alumni that have made names for themselves on professional tours internationally.

The event concluded on 4 October 2015 with the final round canceled due to the typhoon weather. Jin Cheng, the 17-year-old player from China won the championship for 2015. He is the second Chinese player to lift the trophy in AAC.

Alongside with the AAC, Zurich also hosted a golf-outing on 2 October 2015 to share the love of golf and had a friendly play at the Shek O Country & Golf Club. The golf-outing was held on a beautiful day with a group of prestige Zurich guests from Singapore, Malaysia, Japan and Hong Kong.

On 26 October 2015, Zurich once again expressed their love for golf by organizing an outing with Zurich's golf ambassador Justin Rose, who had just won the UBS Hong Kong Open 2015 in the previous week. Zurich's staff and top clientele took part in this friendly golf-outing at the Shek O Golf & Country Club and received valuable golf tips from Justin.
