Powerhouse Australia opened up a two-stroke lead over Singapore even as the Philippines got its bid going by sharing sixth place in the opening round of the 29th Nomura Cup Tuesday, Nov. 15. at the Manila Southwoods Masters course in Carmona, Cavite.

Jack Buchanan fired a six-under-par 66 on seven birdies including two on the last three holes and a bogey while Quinnton Bryce Croker added a 60 for Australia’s 135 that propelled the golfers from Down Under past Singapore, who had a 66 from James Leow and a 71 from John Ryan Ang in perfect playing conditions.

The Philippines served notice of its championship potential by sharing sixth spot with Korea, New Zealand and Malaysia but not after its top gun Kristoffer Arevalo muffed a solid front nine charge. All the Filipino players played well on the first day of the 16-nation event as Elee Bisera chalked up a no-count 72 on five birdies and the same number of bogeys.

The event is sponsored by the MVP Sports Foundation, Smart, PLDT, TV5, PING, the Philippine Sports Commission, the Philippine Olympic Committee, Yamaha, Bettinardi, Gatorade and Hytera. Cignal and One Sports are media partners.
