Kelly gives a good fight to regain momentum


Kelly Tan is all set for her second straight Olympics appearance in Tokyo

PETALING JAYA: Golfer Kelly Tan remains in high spirit despite a bizarre double bogey at the 16th hole that saw her finishing 41st with an opening two-over 73 after the first round.

The 27-year-old was struggling with her front nine at the Kasumigaseki Country Club yesterday, bogeying the first, sixth and ninth holes to start the day on the back foot. But a resilient Kelly battled brilliantly to regain her rhythm with three birdies at 11th, 14th and 15th to get to par and when she thought that all was good, disaster struck at the par-three 16th.
