Fraser, who won the inaugural Maybank Championship in 2016, surprised even himself with his position on the leaderboard after considering himself as a “part-time golfer” nowadays. Ranked 345th on the Official World Golf Ranking, the Australian has not broken into the winner’s circle since that victory in Malaysia. Philippines’ Angelo Que opened his campaign in a blistering pace, getting to nine-under-par after 11 holes.
