Marc 2nd at Selangor Amateur Open


Marc Ong produced another impressive performance for a 15yr old junior golfer after finishing in 2nd place at the 2011 Selangor Amateur Open.

Marc shot an opening round of 2-over par 74, before launching himself into contention with a fantastic 6-under par 66 on day two of the tournament. His 66 around Perangsang Templer Golf Club was the lowest score recorded by any player for the week and included 7 birdies and just the one bogey on his 17th hole. Trailing by 4-shots heading into the final round, Marc posted a very commendable 1-under par round of 71 but could still not make up any ground on the leader as fellow countryman Jerome Ng ran away from the field with a closing 3-under par 69. It was an impressive wire-to-wire victory for Jerome and a terrific result for Singapore golf as members of the 2011 SEA Games team all showed solid form, taking out the top 3 places after Choo Tze Huang secured 3rd place behind Marc with a fine closing round of 68.

Congratulations Marc on yet another great tournament and best of luck to the Singapore team for the upcoming SEA Games in Jakarta!
