Rintaro Nakano Leads Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship

Rintaro Nakano of Japan leads the weather-affected 2024 Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship at 8-under par after a 3-under 67 finish, with his closest competitor, Wenyi Ding of China, trailing by two shots. The tournament has faced significant delays due to heavy rain and fog, causing the second round to be suspended and rescheduled. Players are set to play 32 holes on Sunday to complete the tournament. The event, which offers winners invitations to the Masters and British Open, continues to attract top amateur talent from across the region. The cut was made at 7-over par, allowing 63 players to advance. Nakano humorously acknowledged the challenges posed by the weather delays, emphasizing the importance of recovery for the upcoming rounds.
