Malaysian U Minn Woon marked his first foray in the Philippine Golf Tour Q-School in style, putting up an impressive three-under 69 to lead Nilo Salahog by two at the start of the 72-hole elims at Splendido Taal Golf Club on Tuesday in Tagaytay.

Woon, who moved to Florida at 16, played college golf at Fairleigh Dickinson University and won the St. Augustine Amateur title at St. Johns in 2018, banked on his superb all-around game to dominate the rolling, challenging layout he hardly had knowledge of. He birdied two of the first three holes at the back where he teed off and gained more strokes on Nos. 2 and 3 before holing out with a bogey on the par-5 No. 9.
