HANOI, May 15 — Golfer Ervin Chang created history when he became the first-ever Malaysian to lift the SEA Games men’s individual title at the Heron Lake Golf Course & Resort today.
Ervin, who plans to turn pro this year, recovered from a slow start of one-over 73 on the first day to card a five-under 67 and three-under 69 in the next two rounds. Thailand’s Weerawish Narkprachar, who had rounds of 68- 72-70 for a six-under 210 total, settled for the bronze medal. Previously, Malaysia’s best achievement in the individual event was the silver medal won by Airil Rizman and Gavin Green in the 2001 and 2013 editions respectively.
