JAMES BYRNE HAS A 75 IN SELANGOR MASTERS

Shah Alam, Selangor, September 5: Thai legend Thaworn Wiratchant renewed his Malaysian love affair as he fired an opening six-under-par 66 for the clubhouse lead at the Worldwide Holdings Selangor Masters on Wednesday.

 

Thaworn, whose record 13 Asian Tour titles include two victories in Malaysia, carded one eagle, four birdies and a lone bogey at the Kota Permai Golf and Country Club, a venue where he was victorious in 2001.

 

Marcus Both of Australia, who finished in tied fifth place in last year’s edition, was also six-under through 12 holes when play was suspended at 7.05pm while Michael Tran of Vietnam was on five-under with three more holes to play.

New Aberdeen Asset Management Northern Open champion James Byrne had a 75.
