Five-way tie in opening round of Manila Masters

GOLFERS from Thailand, India, Chinese Taipei and the United States were in a five-way tie in the first round of the Manila Masters yesterday.

Thais Danthai Boonma and Rattanon Wannasrichan, India’s Jyoti Randhawa, Chinese Taipei’s Lin Wen-tang and Johannes Veerman of the US all had matching 8-under-par 64s at the top of the leaderboard at the Manila Southwoods Golf and Country Club. Lin, 42, had a lucky eagle on his closing 18th hole that sent him into the tie for the lead after hitting four birdies in his opening five holes. “It was a good day and I came into this round feeling very good about my game. There was not much wind in the morning and that really helped,” the six-time Asian Tour winner said. The other leaders also credited the benign conditions for their performance. “There was no wind today so it can get fairly easy on this golf course when there’s no wind. This golf course seems to set itself up nicely for my style of play so that helps a bit,” said Randhawa, 44, an ex-Asia No. 1.
