Sri Lankan golfer Kaya Daluwatta has put herself in an enviable position, sitting in second place with a gross score of 223, just one shot behind Vietnam’s An Lee, who leads with a score of 222 in the Thai Singha Junior World Tournament.
The race for the championship has never been keener with R Ng from the Philippines also closely trailing at 224.
Kaya’s impressive performance on the penultimate day has set the stage for an exciting conclusion, as she continues to apply pressure on An Lee. With one more round to go, all eyes will be on Kaya to maintain the momentum and perhaps even seize the lead as the tournament draws to a close.
In the boys’ division, Reshan Algama achieved one of the best rounds of the day, posting an even-par score that vaulted him into 11th place with a gross total of 233.
His performance was marked by consistency and composure, which allowed him to navigate the course effectively.
The standout of the day, however, was Thailand’s Jaideth Na, who delivered a remarkable one-under-par round, showcasing skill and precision that propelled Reshan up the leaderboard in the process.
Meanwhile, Jacob Norton faced challenges, slipping to 14th place with a gross score of 237 after a tough day on the course.
The fluctuating leaderboard underscores the unpredictability of junior golf, where a single round can dramatically shift standings and fortunes.
Leading the boys’ division is Thailand’s N Srichatphiran, who has consistently demonstrated strong play throughout the tournament, finishing day three with a gross score of 215, one under par.
His solid performance sets him up as the player to beat in the final round, but with Kaya and Algama both showing potential for strong finishes, the excitement is palpable.
As competitors prepare for the final day of this prestigious tournament, the atmosphere is charged with anticipation.
Kaya’s quest for the championship, Algama’s resurgence and Srichatphiran’s bid to maintain his lead all contribute to a finale that promises to be nothing short of thrilling. (AO)
