Bangladesh's Jamal Hossain Molla made a good start in the Worldwide Holdings Selangor Masters as he fired a 3-under-par (69) to be placed joint fourth at the end of the first round on Wednesday. The Kishoregonj boy fired 4 birdies and a bogey at the Kota Permai Golf & Country Club to surge to the joint fourth position, three shots behind leader Thaworn Wiratchant of Thailand.
Bangladesh's top golfer Siddikur was one-under-par after completing fifteen holes before rain forced suspension of the day's play. Siddikur traded four birdies with three bogeys in the fifteen holes that he completed.
A third Bangladeshi golfer in the event, Shakhawat Hossain Sohel had a one-over-par (73) finish to the first round.
A total of 59 players including Siddikur will return on Thursday morning to resume their opening rounds before the second round starts.
