Academy Students Start Well in Fiji

The Men's Asia-Pacific Teams Championship known as the Nomura Cup teed off today at the Denarau Golf Club, Fiji. Academy students Marc Ong and Edgar Oh, representing Singapore, fired opening rounds of 71 and 73 respectively. Marc's 1-under par 71 was the low score of the day for team Singapore, 4-shots behind Australia's Cameron Smith and China's Li Haotong who both blitzed the course in 5-under par 67.

Conducted by the Asia-Pacific Golf Confederation, each team consists of four male amateur golfers from each country, contesting 18 holes of stroke play for four days. In each round, the total of the best 3 out of 4 scores from each team constitutes the team score. The four-day (72-hole) total is the team’s score for the championship, with the winning team receiving the Nomura Cup.
