Monn Sokchea hooked his tee shot into the trees on the par-four ninth hole, wearing a wide smile as he went searching for his ball.
He settled for a double bogey and eventually signed for an 11-over 83 in his third round of the South-east Asian Amateur Golf Team Championships at Seletar Country Club on July 11.
For most golfers, it would have been a round to forget.

It’s been five years since we launched The Cambodia Daily Khmer — an online platform dedicated to Khmer-language speakers.
The work requires an annual budget of $100,000 to pay reporters, photographers, editors and web hosting fees. Faced with a substantial annual shortfall, we are left with little choice but to ask you, our dedicated readers and supporters, for help. Independent Cambodian voices are now more essential than ever. Please consider giving.
