Marc Ong, Choo Tze Huang, Gregory Foo and Jerome Ng have claimed the 51st Putra Cup for Singapore with a brilliant victory at the South-East Asian Amateur Golf Team Championship. Team Singapore trailed Hong Kong, Indonesia and Malaysia through 2 rounds but then vaulted their way to the top of the leaderboard in round 3 after all four team members posted rounds in the 60's. Singapore's charge to the top was lead by 15yr old Academy student Marc Ong who fired a fantastic 66 around Hong Kong's Clearwater Bay Golf & Country Club. Singapore managed to hold off Hong Kong and Indonesia in the final round to eventually win the Cup by 5 strokes.
In the overall individual championship, Marc Ong began the final round just 2 shots off the lead and after a shaky start by his rivals, Marc hit the lead early on the front nine. 3-putt bogeys on the 8th and 9th holes plus a disappointing back nine unfortunately dropped him out of the title contention. The individual title went to fellow countryman and former Academy student Choo Tze Huang who despite finding water on the 72nd hole, held on to claim his 2nd victory at this event. Congratulations to the boys on a great achievement!!
