Bangladeshi Golfer Siddikur |
Congratulation
to Bangladeshi Golfer Siddikur. Our name also has been focused in the World through
him. He is showing a good job.
South
African Ernie Els charged into contention with a brilliant six-under-par 65 to
trail halfway leader Siddikur of Bangladesh by one shot at the US$800,000
Venetian Macau Open on Friday 18.10.2013.
The
four-time Major champion, who is also an Asian Tour honorary member and
international ambassador, sank nine birdies against three bogeys at the Macau
Golf and Country Club for a two-day total of six-under-par 136.
Siddikur
was equally impressive in his round of 66 which included three birdies over his
closing four holes as he edged ahead of the chasing pack in his search of a second
Asian Tour victory.
Siddikur,
the first Bangladeshi to win on the Asian Tour, produced a strong finish to
snatch the second round lead in the Venetian Macau Open as he eyed a dream
showdown with his idol, Els.
“It
was a great round. I felt good. My ball striking was perfect, especially my
putting as it all went in,” said Siddikur, who took only 25 putts and is
currently 10th on the Asian Tour’s Order of Merit.
Jointly
organised by Macau Sport Development Board of Macau SAR Government (MSDB) and
Golf Association of Macau, the tournament is sanctioned by the latter and the
Asian Tour, and promoted by IMG. Following a successful foray into the world of
golf last year, The Venetian® Macao-Resort-Hotel has returned as
title sponsor of the event.
