Bad weather stops James Byrne and 39 others 

from completing third rounds in Malaysia


ASIAN DEVELOPMENTAL TOUR NEWS RELEASE
 Selangor, Malaysia: Japan’s Shunya Takeyasu leads the chasing pack in the weather-interrupted third round of the PGM CCM Rahman Putra Championship today.

The consistent Japanese was 14-under through nine holes, two shots ahead of Australia’s Jordan Sherratt before play was suspended at 3.48pm due to inclement weather and could not resume at the Kelab Golf Rahman Putra Malaysia. 

A total of 40 players will continue the penultimate round at 7.40am on Saturday with the fourth and final round to be played immediately without a redraw.

The players who have still to complete their third rounds include Banchory's James Byrne.

Josh Salah of the United States and local hope Hans Jamil stayed within striking distance as they lurk on 11-under after playing 10 holes. 

Dodge Kemmer of the United States, who held the lead in the opening two rounds, was a further shot back in the RM200,000 (approximately US$46,600) Asian Development Tour (ADT) event.

The 28-year-old Hans is bracing himself for a marathon finish where he needs to complete 26 holes as he chases for a first ADT victory.

“Golf has been treating me okay this week. I’ve had a lot of good shots and the course is in great shape. It is disappointing with the rain suspensions but this is something which everybody is facing. It is Mother Nature. I just need to keep going,” said Hans.

“I’ve always thought about winning on the ADT. It has been on my mind but I need to go out there, do what I’ve been doing and hopefully the win comes,” he added.
