Nathan Holman keeps up great start to season in Kuala Lumpur

Australia’s Nathan Holman continued his brilliant start to the 2016 season to claim the halfway lead in the inaugural Maybank Championship Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur.

Holman had played just 15 European Tour events coming in to the new campaign but claimed a maiden win at the Australian PGA Championship in December and went on to secure top-40 finishes in Qatar and Dubai.

The 24-year-old from Melbourne carried on where he left off at Royal Selangor Golf Club, adding a 65 to his opening 64 to reach 13 under par, two shots ahead of England’s Richard Bland.
