Na ihrisku Apex Golf Club Báč sa v dňoch 20.-22. júna uskutočnili Medzinárodné majstrovstvá Slovenska juniorov 2025. O tituly sa bojovalo celkovo v 8 kategóriách (4 dievčenské, 4 chlapčenské) v národnej a medzinárodnej kategórii. V kategórii dievčat do 12 rokov do bojov zasiahla aj Zoey Sophia Pápay, ktorá obhajovala titul z minulého roka a v konkurencii najlepších slovenských, českých a poľských hráčiek sa nestratila. Obhájila titul Majsterky Slovenska na rok 2025 a v Medzinárodnej kategórii skončila po play off na 2. mieste.


Počas šampionátu letné slnečné počasie golfu prialo, čo sa prejavilo aj na pekných výsledkoch. V prvý hrací deň Zoey Sophia zahrala +1 (73) a s náskokom dvoch rán sa priebežne usadila na 1. mieste, keď zahrala 5 birdie, 8 parov, 4 bogey a 1 doube bogey.

V druhom kole zahrala -3 (69), keď zahrala 4 birdie, 13 parov a 1 bogey a do záverečného kola išla z prvého miesta s rovnakým skoré (-2) ako jej prenasledovateľka z Českej republiky.

Dráma pokračovala aj v treťom kole. Zoey Sophia zahrala +1(73), rovnako ako jej súperka a o víťazstve v medzinárodnej kategórii muselo rozhodnúť Play off, ktoré súperka rozhodla dlhým birdie patom hneď na prvej jamke.


O svojich pocitoch sa nám bezprostredne po turnaji zverila samotná Zoey Sophia:


“Na turnaj som bola dobre pripravená, čo sa prejavilo aj na mojej hre. Boli jamky, keď sa mi nedarilo, ale som sa nevzdávala a bojovala ďalej. Obhájenie titulu Majstra Slovenska bolo vrcholom mojej tohtoročnej sezónny a som šťastná, že sa mi to v konkurencii najlepších hráčiek podarilo.”

The 2025 International Slovak Junior Championships took place at the Apex Golf Club Bac course from June 20-22. The titles were contested in a total of 8 categories (4 girls, 4 boys) in the national and international categories. In the girls' category under 12, Zoey Sophia Papay also entered the fights, defending her title from last year and did not lose out in the competition of the best Slovak, Czech and Polish players. She defended the title of Slovak Champion for 2025 and finished in 2nd place in the International category after the play-off.


During the championship, the sunny summer weather was favorable for golf, which was also reflected in the nice results. On the first day of play, Zoey Sophia played +1 (73) and with a lead of two shots, she continuously settled in 1st place, when she played 5 birdies, 8 pars, 4 bogeys and 1 double bogey.

In the second round, she played -3 (69), when she played 4 birdies, 13 pars and 1 bogey and went into the final round from first place with the same score (-2) as her pursuer from the Czech Republic.

The drama continued in the third round. Zoey Sophia played +1 (73), just like her opponent, and the victory in the international category had to be decided by a Play off, which her opponent decided with a long birdie putt on the first hole.


Zoey Sophia herself shared her feelings with us immediately after the tournament:


“I was well prepared for the tournament, which was reflected in my game. There were holes where I wasn’t doing well, but I didn’t give up and kept fighting. Defending the Slovak Champion title was the highlight of my season this year and I’m happy that I managed to do it in competition with the best players.” LINK for official results: https://www.golfgenius.com/pages/11407037586519125958 LINK for official article: https://www.skga.sk/aktuality/konecne-vysledky-slovak-junior-championship-2025-by-respect
