challenging conditions at the 14th Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship held in Melbourne, Australia, Malaysian golfer Marcus Lim displayed resilience by carding a five-over-par 76 at The Royal Melbourne Golf Club on the third day. This performance kept him within the top 10 contenders with one round remaining. Facing winds exceeding 50km/h and demanding pin placements, the US-based athlete managed to grind out a decent round on the par-71 Composite Course, bringing his total to five-over-par 218 .
Lim is determined to finish strong in the upcoming round, aiming to improve his previous showings where he missed the cut in two Asia-Pacific Amateur appearances. He stated his commitment to Royal Melbourne’s unpredictable nature and pledged to give his best effort on the course. Nateeshvar Ganesh and Anson Yeo, playing in the cold and windy morning, faced formidable conditions, resulting in rounds of 82 and 83, respectively. They are currently tied in 64th place with a total score of 23-over-par 236. Nateeshvar described the conditions as brutal, emphasizing the strength of the winds, the cold weather, and the difficulty of the greens and pin placements. He remained optimistic about the upcoming round.
The champion of the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship will earn a coveted invitation to the 2024 Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club, along with exemptions for The 152nd Open at Royal Troon and the 129th Amateur Championship, provided they maintain their amateur status.
