‘Zero chance’ of winning: Dominique Boulet laments form, shares second-round lead with Unho Park and Wong Woon-man
Hong Kong player shoots two-over 72 with defending champion Scott Barr in fourth at level par and Anthony Kang a further shot back
Hong Kong’s Dominique Boulet said he had “zero” chance of winning the FTLife HKPGA Championship if he continued to play like he did in the second round, when he shot a two-over 72 to share the lead with four-time winner Unho Park and Wong Woon-man.
The trio are at one-under-par for the championship after an absorbing day at the Hong Kong Golf Club with the top six players separated by only two shots ahead of the final day at Clearwater Bay Golf and Country Club on Friday.
Defending champion Scott Barr of Australia finds himself in solo fourth at level par, with three-time Asian Tour winner Anthony Kang a further shot back at one-over.
The 51-year-old Boulet, now a prominent television commentator after spending 13 years on the Asian Tour, wasn’t at his best over his home course on Thursday and continued to downplay his chances of winning a third HKPGA title.
“I hit it solidly early on but I really lost my swing on the back nine,” said Boulet, whose last victory came in 2004. “I hit a couple of really poor chips and played with the handbrake on. I wasn’t very confident at all.
