Reshan carded a two-under-par 69 to place fourth after day one. Vietnam’s Nguyen Tuan Anh led the field with an outstanding six under-par 65 followed closely by Moore Cooper of New Zealand who shot a 66 (5-under), claiming second place.

Reshan’s steady round placed him well within striking distance of the lead, with two more days of intense competition remaining. His performance is being closely followed back home, as he continues to carry Sri Lanka’s hopes on the international stage.
