HONG KONG: Open winner and Ryder Cup hopeful Shane Lowry cranked up the heat to close in on former champion Wade Ormsby at the Hong Kong Open on Friday (Jan 10).
Ormsby surged ahead in early play, carding a four-under 66 to go nine under and stay top of the leaderboard at the historic Fanling course where he won his maiden European Tour event in 2017.
"Wade's nine now, if he has a really good weekend he might run away... but hopefully I can shoot two decent scores and give myself a chance on Sunday afternoon." "I played good today," he told reporters after setting the lowest round of the tournament so far -- just two shots off the course record set by reigning champion Aaron Rai of England.But the four-time winner on the European Tour knows things can change quickly at Fanling.
