Solid display: Malaysia’s Airil Rizman in action during the opening round of the Negri Sembilan Masters at the Seremban Golf Club yesterday.
SEREMBAN: Malaysia’s Airil Rizman and Thailand’s Atthaphon Prathummanee shared the top spot after the first round of the Negri Sembilan Masters Invitational golf competition at the Seremban Golf Club yesterday.
The duo carded identical seven-under 65s to take a one-shot clubhouse lead from Malaysia’s Danny Chia in the RM500,000 tournament, which also acts as the fourth leg of the Asean PGA Tour.
A 1½-hour rain delay meant that 33 players were unable to complete their rounds yesterday.
Malaysia’s S. Sivachandran triumphed last year – the first local to take the title since its inception in 2005 – and Rizman is hoping to follow in his footsteps.
The 33-year-old Rizman carded a bogey-free score with seven birdies.
“This is one of the biggest events this year ... so it was great to start so well.
“I played solidly and didn’t make any mistakes,” said Rizman.
