The second round of the PGM Seri Selangor Championship 2025 saw Shariffuddin Ariffin and Edven Ying tied at the top at an impressive 5-under.

Not far behind, several players have also shown strong performances, including Jeremiah Kim, whose 67 helped him climb up the leaderboard, and Ervin Chang, who made headlines with back-to-back eagles on holes 5 and 6, both par-5s. Chang’s remarkable feat propelled him to 1-under for the tournament, ensuring he remains in contention for the title.

The competition remains tight, with only a handful of strokes separating the leading players. Ben Leong and Kim Leun Kwang trail the leaders by just one stroke at 4-under, while Kemarol Baharin, at 3-under, remains within striking distance. Notable names such as Paul San and Marcus Lim are also still in the mix, both at par, and will be looking to make a move in the final round.

In the Ladies Championship, Zulaikah Nurziana Nasser has firmly established herself as the front-runner, maintaining a four-stroke advantage at 3-under. However, with Geraldine Wong (1-over) and Jocelyn Chee (4-over) still in the race, the title is far from decided, and the final round promises an intense battle for the championship.

At the cut line, 53 men and 6 ladies make it to the final round, ensuring a competitive field for the final day of action.

The Men’s Championship features a total purse of RM180,000, with an additional RM30,000 set aside for the Ladies Championship.
