Maybank Championship Malaysia

Niall Turner

Niall Turner turned up the heat in Malaysia this morning, shooting an opening 68 in the Maybank Championship in Kuala Lumpur. Starting on the 10th tee, Niall opened with a birdie and followed that with five pars before he struck with three more birdies on the bounce. His only bogey happened on the 4th (his 13th hole) but he bounced back with a birdie on his 17th hole. A final par meant he signed for a 68 and the -4 total sees him 11th place alongside Robert Karlsson and six others.

Despite making the cut, he was forced to retire before the start of the third round due to illness.
