Teenager Noh sets mark in Malaysia

Korean teenager Noh Seung-yul fired a sensational first round 10-under-par 62 to edge ahead of Alexander Noren for the clubhouse lead at the Maybank Malaysian Open today.

The 17-year-old enjoyed an excellent start, holing a 45-foot birdie putt at his opening hole, the 10th, but it was playing partner Noren who set the pace for much of the morning after opening with four consecutive birdies at Saujana Golf & Country Club’s Palm Course.
