Australia’s Scott Barr made his move with a flawless 5-under 67 to grab
a share of the second round lead on the Asian Tour.
On 9-under the card Barr co-leads with overnight leader Namchok
Tantipokhakul of Thailand at the Yeangder Tournament Players Championship (TPC).
Barr, who won a domestic event in Singapore before arriving at the
Linkou International Golf and Country Club, is looking to extend his winning
run this week.
"I won an event in Singapore before coming here so I’m feeling good.
It’s nice to come straight here and get back into it. We’ll see how it goes but
things are going well so far," said Barr.
The Australian’s determination to win his maiden Asian Tour title showed
when he surged ahead with an outward 32 which was marked by four birdies on
holes one, four, five and seven.
Thanks to his course familiarity, Barr then went on to sink another
birdie on 12 before returning home comfortably in 67.
"The greens can be really challenging here. You got to read them well
and a little bit of intuition helps too," added Barr.
"But I’ve been coming back here long enough and I have a feel of what’s
going on."
