IT was a fitting climax to an amazing half-year for Singaporean golfer Marc Ong.
After his South-east Asian (SEA) Games team championship heroics at Kuala Lumpur when he sank the winning putt for Singapore to snatch the gold medal from Thailand in August, the 22-year-old produced a similar effort at the Warren-MST Amateur Open on Thursday.
In his final amateur event before he turns professional in January, Ong holed a difficult birdie-putt to beat national team-mate Abdul Hadi in a first-hole play-off at the demanding course at Warren Golf and Country Club.
