NAGOYA: Singapore’s Shannon Tan started her debut Asian Games campaign in fine fashion on Wednesday (Oct 30) as she shot a seven-under 63 to top the women’s individual golf standings after the first round.

With three rounds left to play at the Kasugai Country Club East Course, Tan sits three strokes ahead of India’s Pranavi Sharath.

No Singaporean golfer has clinched an individual medal at the Games.

Tan’s teammate Chen Xingtong also registered a good start when she recorded a one-under 69 to place ninth.

Tan and Chen’s combined score of 132 also put them in a four-shot lead in the concurrent women’s team event.
