Sam Lee leads the Fiji Professional Golfers Association (Fiji PGA) Tour 2021 Order of Merit (OOM). Lee has been in top form winning all the first four tournaments on the schedule.

On Saturday, Lee took out the Girmit Open Pro-Am at the Lautoka Golf Club course to make four out of four having won the Shop N Save Supermarket Lautoka Pro-Am, the Woodstock Bourbon Cola Pro-Am at the Denarau Golf and Racquet Club and the Fiji PGA Classic at the Natadola Bay Championship Course.

As a result Lee has opened up a big lead in the race to be crowned the number one professional player at the end of the year. Lee has 2600 points.

Lautoka’s Roneel Prakash has moved up to second position following impressive performances last weekend and also at Natadola.

Prakash has 1600 points. Viliame Sorowale has dropped to third spot after being in second spot following the third tournament.

Sorowale has 1520 points. Fiji PGA secretary Amitesh Chandra said 22 golfers were registered under their banner.

He said their tour concept was the same as the other international competitions in Australia, New Zealand, China and Korea where prizemoney was on offer during the tournaments and OOD points tallied to declare the season’s rankings.

The fifth event on the Fiji PGA Tour is the Rum Co. of Fiji Pro-Am which will be played at the Denarau Golf and Racquet Club course from April 23-24.
