We quote herewith some of comments made by Azelia in her interview with the media after her victory.  “I am so excited to win this championship, especially against such a strong field of international players.”  “I learned a lot during my two months at the KeNako Academy and my mental and physical game has definitely improved a lot.” (Azeila arrived at KeNako Academy at the beginning of January).  “Even when I made the double bogey at the 12th I just kept on focussing on the next hole.”  “The academy taught me how important it is to have balance in your life.  I missed home, but I made a lot of friends.”
