Sampson Zheng produced an amateur Composite Course record 65 to surge to the top of the leaderboard in today’s third round of the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship at Royal Melbourne Golf Club.
The 22-year-old from China started the day six shots back in a tie for 13th and mastered the gusting winds on the famous Sandbelt venue to rack up four front-nine birdies with just one bogey. He moved up a gear again with a spectacular eagle three at the par-5 10th which took him clear of the field.
