Paul San bags Supra Cup by two strokes

SENAI: Paul San strengthened his hold on the Toyota Tour Order of Merit when he turned in a fine two-under 70 today to win the Supra Cup by two strokes at the demanding Allamanda course at Palm Resort Golf & Country Club here.

Paul, who has set his sights on gaining entry into the Asian Tour by way of finishing among the top 10 on the Asian Development Tour, notched four birdies against two bogeys while Jeremiah Kim, who finished second, could only manage four birdies and four bogeys.

In joint third were Syahiran Syakir and Danny Chia, whose 69 catapulted him up the ladder. Meanwhile A. Nateeshvar won the men's amateur title when he finished with a solid 68 to sit jointly in 5th place with Nicholas Fung, Galven Green and Edven Ying at four-under 212.

Paul declared he's still unable absorb the fact that he's managed to win his second Toyota Tour event in such a short time. His first win was the Vios Cup at Templer Park CC in May.

After this, Paul has a busy schedule on the ADT, with two events in Indonesia, Vietnam and Cambodia.

"I'm really happy with how I'm managing myself on the course," said Paul.

"I've been working on my game around the greens and even though it's not quite up to where I want it to be, I'm still solid in other departments of the game.

"I hope to be able to maintain this form for the rest of the season."

Winnie Ng maintained her current good form to achieve a wire-to-wire six-stroke victory in the Supra Cup Ladies Championship after adding a two-under 70 today for a 212 three-day aggregate.

Geraldine Wong tried her best to close the gap but her 69 wasn't good enough and she finished alone in second at 218.
