In 2020, the tournament was canceled due to the pandemic and the last time the tournament was held was in 2018 at Doha Golf Club, Qatar, which saw the Asia-Pacific team crowned with Min Woo Lee at the helm, ending 14 years of European dominance.
Some notable names who have participated in the Bonallack Trophy as Amateur players include Rory Mcilroy (2006), Jon Rahm (2012), Francesco Molinari (2004), Justin Rose (1998), Rasmus Højgaard (2018), Shane Lowry (2008) of the European team and Cameron Smith (2012), Hideki Matsuyama (2012), Takumi Kanaya (2016,2018), Min Woo Lee (2018), Geoff Ogilvy (1998) and Danny Lee (2008) of the Asia-Pacific team.
Being invited to the team and being one of the 12 members of the Asia-Pacific team competing in the tournament is an honor for Anh Minh in particular and for Vietnam in general. Vietnam has had its first representative competing in a very prestigious golf tournament. According to the world amateur rankings, Anh Minh is currently ranked 218th and he is also a golfer with many impressive achievements in many domestic and international golf tournaments in recent times.
This historic milestone once again affirms the right direction of the Vietnam Golf Association in promoting the development of young golf and enhancing international cooperation.
