Kuching, Malaysia: Singapore’s Choo Tze Huang battled to a two-over-par 74 to take a slim one-shot lead over Malaysia’s Akhmal Tarmizee and Filipino duo Jhonnel Ababa and Charles Hong after the third round of the PGM Sarawak Masters.
The
25-year-old Choo, touted as one of the region’s rising stars, seemed to
be coasting towards a comfortable lead at the Sarawak Golf Club before
stumbling over his last three holes with one bogey and a double bogey in
the RM180,000 (approximately US$60,000) Asian Development Tour event.
“I
was doing well, and putting decent. But in the last three holes, I
didn’t quite do it. It was a bad finish,” said Choo, who compiled a
three-day total of one-under-par 215.
“The
greens are tough to get close to as they are firm and quick. They are
really challenging and you really need to be patient out there which I
was today. I’m quite happy despite the finish,” added Choo.
With
one round to go, Choo is hopeful he can secure his maiden title on the
ADT which rewards the top-three finishers on the final Order of Merit
with Asian Tour cards for the 2013 season.
