Ormsby, Otsuki share early lead at Hong Kong Open
Print Edition
After a six-week delay because of protests, the Hong Kong Open finally got going at Fanling yesterday.
Wade Ormsby and Tomoharu Otsuki shared the early lead at 5-under-par 65 at the tournament that was originally scheduled for November in China’s Hong Kong, which has seen more than six months of demonstrations. Ormsby, who won the event in 2017, carded six birdies and one bogey while Otsuki didn’t drop a shot. The Japanese player had three birdies in the opening five holes and added two more on the 12th and 13th holes. “A little bit windy in the afternoon but I am happy with how I held up,” Australian Ormsby said. “I like a lot of these shots around here ... that’s why I’ve chosen to start my season here.” Chang Yik-eun (66) of South Korea is in a tie for third with the Australian pair of Travis Smyth and David Gleeson. Irishman Shane Lowry and American Tony Finau (both 69) held a share of 20th place with nine others.
