PUCHONG: Sabahan Lam Yu Shen shot a three-under 68 to lead the pack on the first day of the Professional Golf of Malaysia (PGM) Tour's I&P Group Closed Championship held at the Kinrara Golf Club, here.The opening round was marked by a congested leaderboard where no fewer than 14 players shot under-par and were separated by just three strokes and 19 players were even-par for the round or better.

It saw Tony Lam Kong Loong, Danny Chia, Sukree Othman, Zen Dharmaratne, Dino Abdillah, Rahizam Ramli and Keegan Kam finish a shot back on 69, while Akhmal Tarmizee, Shaaban Hussin, Hans Jamil, Ben Leong, Iylia Jamil and Zamri Sariff were one-under.

M. Sasidaran, V. Arumugam, Farid Rashid, Lion Goh and Lim Eng Seng were even-par for the day.

The closeness left Tournament Director Brig Gen ¨ Ron Mahendran to observe that this was the sort of thing that enhanced the Tour's appeal.

"Anyone of those players in the top-three or four groupings could go on to win it,' he said.

"The level of competitiveness has really grown and so too has the skill levels of the players."
