Phnom Penh (FN), Jan. 16 – Harmonie Yin, a 20-year-old rising star in Cambodian golf, has made history as the first Cambodian woman to achieve a World Amateur Golf Ranking (WAGR). Her passion, hard work, and talent have set a new standard for female golfers in Cambodia.
After just two years of intense dedication, Harmonie and her team reached the Ladies European Tour (LET) ACCESS Series—a milestone that often takes others significantly longer to achieve. Her journey has seen her progress from Cambodian and French national tournaments to international amateur competitions with WAGR recognition, and even to professional tournaments where she competed as an amateur.
Now, Harmonie is preparing for the LET Qualification. A high ranking in this qualification would grant her the opportunity to compete on the Ladies European Tour and earn invitations to some of the world’s most prestigious international tournaments.
Harmonie and her team are ready to face the challenges ahead. Recognizing her extraordinary talent and commitment, the Vattanac Group has proudly partnered with her, providing essential support for her future career. This partnership includes access to world-class training facilities at their award-winning golf resort, ensuring Harmonie has the resources she needs to reach new heights in her golfing journey.
Vattanac Golf Resort, managed by Troon, offers a world-class golfing experience with its 36-hole masterpiece designed by Sir Nick Faldo. Showcasing replicas of UNESCO World Heritage Sites like Angkor Wat, the resort has earned numerous accolades, including Cambodia’s Best Golf Course 2024 and recognition as one of Golf.com’s Top-100 Golf Resorts globally.
The East Course challenges players with dramatic water features and creative bunkering, while the West Course offers narrow, undulating fairways and unique Paspalum greens. The Dragon Turn, its 9-hole night golf venue, was named the World’s Best 9-Hole Golf Course in 2021.
In partnership with Vattanac Group, rising star Harmonie Yin is inspiring the next generation of Cambodian golfers. Join her and Rory Tinker, British PGA Professional, for a free golf clinic at 10:00 AM on 18 January 2025.
