Ormsby stays ahead at Hong Kong Open
Australian is two shots clear of Chawrasia
Hong Kong: Wade Ormsby took sole possession of the lead at the Hong Kong Open with a 4-under 66 in the second round on Friday.
Ormsby, who won the event in 2017, is two shots clear of S.S.P. Chawrasia (63) at 9-under 131 overall.
“I guess it’s a good thing being in the lead. You just got to get ahead and get them,” Ormsby said.
“I’m obviously playing well. I probably played better today than the way I did yesterday. Two bogeys and one of them was a bad hole, but otherwise I played beautifully.”
Chawrasia played a flawless round of 7-under.
The tournament began on Thursday after a six-week delay because of anti-government protests.
It was originally scheduled for November in the semi-autonomous Chinese territory which has seen more than six months of anti-government demonstrations.
