KEDAH’S Mohd Erfan Abdul Rahman emerged as the surprise Boys Under-12 badminton singles champion in the 100-Plus National Grand Prix final held at the Cheras Badminton hall in Kuala Lumpur.
The student from SK Kepala Batas in Alor Setar whose only appearance in a final was in the Boys Under-11 event at the Kedah-Yonex championship last November upset his doubles partner Kok Jing Hong in the quarter-final in three games (9-21, 21-19, 21-19) before marching on to the final to win the title from Johor’s Yap Sai Kuan.
