Played among some cream of Asian Junior golfers, South Korea currently leads the team standings, securing both 1st and 2nd positions, while Thailand was in number 3 followed by Hong Kong China at number 4. With just a few strokes separating the Sri Lankan team from the top spots they are on number 5. A strong performance on the final day could see them secure a top 3 finish.

Reshan Algama showed top splendid form once again, carding one-over-par round yesterday. Currently, he is placed at number 4 with a score of 142.

Meanwhile Kaya Daluwatta delivered a consistent performance with a one-over-par round, placing her in 7th with a score of 147. Although the leader L.Arianna, is out in front with a commanding 133, which put the Sri Lankan youngster 14 strokes behind, she remains focused on achieving a top 5 finish, which could be a commendable accomplishment to make the difference in the team performance in the end.
