Asian Tour: Malaysia’s Gavin Green takes the lead at International Series Singapore as Hong Kong’s Taichi Kho stumbles
- Green continues to show he’s on the comeback trail after shooting a seven-under 65 on day two at Tanah Merah Country Club
- The 2017 Asian Tour Order of Merit champion leads by three shots from Thailand’s Phachara Khongwatmai, who shot a 66.
Malaysia’s Gavin Green continued to show he is on the comeback trail after shooting a 7-under 65 to take the lead on day two of the inaugural US$1.5 million International Series Singapore.
Green now leads by three from another of the region’s finest young players, Phachara Khongwatmai of Thailand, who shot a 66. England’s Steve Lewton holed his approach shot for an eagle on the par-five 18th to return a 68 and lie two strokes further back.
Green, the 2017 Asian Tour Order of Merit champion, has struggled with his game over the past few seasons but appears to be back on track after two brilliant days on the demanding Tampines Course at Tanah Merah Country Club.
“It’s a great feeling being back in contention again, it’s just that it’s so hot I can’t even think about it,” he said.
“I was counting down the holes, two more holes, one more hole, so hot. I’m not thinking about that past, I’m not looking at leader boards, I’m just doing my thing.”
Four birdies on the front nine and three on the back saw him break away from the field and revive memories of past performances when he was at his peak.
