The scores in Malaysia just keep getting lower, as Thomas broke the record in 2016 by shooting 26-under par. It will be difficult for anyone to match that record, as 26-under par is an amazing score on any course. Perez won by four strokes in 2017, but even with his great play he was still two shots behind the record of -26 under that Thomas shot.
