Thailand’s Kiradech Aphibarnrat led the weather-interrupted Malaysian Open on nine-under-par despite completing only 14 holes of his second round yesterday.
Kiradech, who started on the 10th, chipped in from 30-yards for an eagle three on the par-5 fifth, his final hole of the day, before bad light stopped play after more than two hours were lost because of storms.
“I was very lucky on that eagle,” Kiradech, the world No. 231, told the Asian Tour Web site. “It wasn’t quite dark ... I wanted to continue and chipped in for eagle.”
Spain’s Alejandro Canizares was a shot back on eight-under-par after managing to complete his three-under 69 round just before play stopped.
Earlier, Dane Soren Hansen and Filipino Angelo Que both fired five-under-par 67s in the morning session to sit at seven-under after another hot and humid day at the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country club.
Temperatures reached 35ºC with 75 percent humidity which proved too much for India’s Jyoti Randhawa and Argentine Rafa Echenique, who both withdrew from the tournament.
Overnight leaders Ignacio Garrido (16 holes) and Rhys Davies (11) and South Korean’s Kim Dae-hyun (9) and KJ Choi (16) were also at seven-under and will have to finish their rounds today.

The younger Jobe Bellingham joined Dortmund in June from Sunderland after their promotion to the English Premier League. He admitted he understood what the perception would be ahead of the move to Germany. “It’s something you do think about.
Before Tuesday’s 7-2 win at the Atlanta Braves, Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy suggested “most people couldn’t tell you five players on our team.” A look at the standings would indicate more Brewers players soon will be recognized by more fans. After all, it is difficult to overlook a team that not only continues to extend their lead in the National League Central, but also boasts the best record in the majors. “What we’re doing in here right now is special,” right-handed pitcher Freddy Peralta said after allowing only four hits and one run in five innings, while setting a career high with
A baseball team from New Taipei City won the US Pony Palomino Division World Series yesterday in Laredo, Texas, defeating the US West representative team from Azusa, California, 2-1. Ku-Pao Home Economics and Commercial High School earned the right to represent Taiwan in the Pony Palomino (17 to 18 age group) World Series after winning this year's Wang Chen-chih Cup, a competition named after Taiwanese-Japanese baseball legend Wang Chen-chih (王貞治), also known as Sadaharu Oh. In the championship game against Azusa, Ku-Pao's starting pitcher Luo Yu-yan (羅于晏) was erratic early, giving up two hits in the bottom of the first inning, followed
Taiwanese pitcher Teng Kai-wei took the mound in New York on Saturday as the starting pitcher for the San Francisco Giants in his MLB season debut against the New York Mets, pitching 3.1 innings and allowing five runs.
