Marc Leads HSBC China Junior Open


Academy junior Marc Ong has opened up a commanding 7-stroke lead at the 2012 HSBC China Junior Golf Open in Guangzhou. Marc blitzed his way around the Guangzhou Nansha Golf Club, recording an incredible 15 birdies through the first 36 holes of the tournament. After brilliant rounds of 68 and 67, the 16yr old is on a total of 9-under par and in a commanding position to claim victory with just one round left to be played. Marc's nearest rival is Japanese golfer Shion Okawa who is 2-under par for the tournament, with Mexico's Alfredo Ruiz a further stroke back on 1-under.

It has been a great week so far for Marc who earlier recorded his first ever hole-in-one during the tournament practice round! The Academy wishes to congratulate Marc on this achievement and wishes him all the very best in todays final round.
