The 20-year-old Rizq delivered an outstanding final-round 65, finishing at 14-under 202 and triumphing by seven shots. The Selangor golfer opened the round with a 69 and a 68, but his best performance of the week propelled him to victory. Wang Xin Yao, at 18, matched Rizq's dominant performance, closing with a flawless 67 for a six-under 210, winning the women's individual title by nine strokes. The Perak golfer's success helped her team defend their championship title. Rizq's emotional victory marked his only opportunity to compete at Sukma, crediting his years in the United States for instilling the confidence and composure needed to triumph. Wang Xin Yao, seeking redemption after finishing second two years ago, delivered an emphatic performance, delivering a bogey-free 67 and securing the women's gold.",
