SALVADOR'S HOT PUTTER GETS
HIM A 66 AT TAIPEI
Taipei: Filipino veteran Elmer Salvador rode on a hot putter to
grab the opening round lead with a six-under-par 66 at the US$500,000
Yeangder Tournament Players Championship (TPC) today.
The
45-year-old registered seven birdies against one bogey to lead by one
shot from three-time Asian Tour winner Marcus Both of Australia, Lien
Lu-sen of Chinese Taipei and Thailand’s Prom Meesawat at the Linkou
International Golf and Country Club.
The
flamboyant Angelo Que of the Philippines produced the shot of the day
when he aced the par-three fifth hole with a seven iron to share fifth
place alongside countryman Antonio Lascuna, Malaysia’s Danny Chia and
Hsu Hao-sheng of Chinese Taipei.
Que had a day to remember when his first official hole-in-one earned
him an Audemars Piguet watch worth 584,000 NT (approximately US$19,000)
and 200,000 NT in cash (approximately US$6,500).
