PETALING JAYA: The stage has been set for a nail-biting National Finals of the Perodua National Amateur Golf Series (PNAGS) at the East Course of the Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club on Oct 15 after 11 keenly competed qualifying rounds.
With the latest qualifying leg at the Royal Perak Golf Club in Perak on Aug 27 seeing stiff fights for a berth in the national finals, spots at the last three qualifying rounds are being snapped up.
The remaining Qualifying Rounds of PNAGS are at the Kuala Terengganu Golf resort on Sept 3, Damai Golf & Country Club in Kuching on Sept 10 and Sabah Golf & Country Club on Sept 24.
At the 11th Qualifying Round in Perak, Mohd Azmi Mahmud (Hcp 5) grabbed the A Medal after carding 38 and 37 for a Nett of 75.
He edged Jack Chew Shiong Liang, a three-handicapper, into second place by two strokes.
