In October, Jung won the Newton International Sub Junior Classic, a competition regarded as one of the premier junior events on the Australian golf calendar.

He was the third West Australian in the past four years to take out the Boys’ Sub Junior Category after Hayden Hopewell, also from Como Golf Academy, and Cooper Geddes.
