KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 15 (Bernama) -- Rising stars K. Rhaasrikanesh, Adam Arif Mazri, Muhd Afif Mohd Fathi, Winnie Ng Yu Xuan, Natasha Andrea Oon and Ashley Lau Jun Wen are among the notable players who are expected to perform well at the 12th Edition of the AmBank Group-SportExcel International Junior Golf Championship 2017. Winnie Ng Yu Xuan recently emerged as the best amateur player in the Sime Darby LPGA 2017. The tournament will be held at the Glenmarie Golf and Country Club in Shah Alam, Selangor from 4-7 December 2017.

The tournament will feature 60 junior golfers from Malaysia and 50 international players from Thailand, India, China, Taiwan, South Korea, Australia, Philippines and Indonesia. The AmBank Group has once again come on board to sponsor this prestigious junior golf tournament for the 12th consecutive time. The Best Overall player from the White Tee (Girls 13-14 and 15-18 age group category) at last year’s tournament, Ashley Lau Jun Wen (category Girls A) will be defending her title for the third time, and Zubair Firdaus, who last year won the Best Overall player from the Blue Tee (Boys 13-14 and 15-18 age group category) will be vying for the Boys Category A title this year.

The Best Player from the Blue Tee (Boys 13-14 and 15-18 age group category) and White Tee (Girls 13-14 and 15-18 age group category) will also be vying for the Tan Sri Azman Hashim trophies, named after the AmBank Group Chairman. There is also the best team category where the winning team will be presented with the Tunku Imran Trophy.
 
“We are very pleased to come on board as the main sponsor once again and a total of 110 players will be taking part in the tournament. Hence, the challenge to come out tops will be intense and exciting with a local and international cast,” said Syed Anuar Syed Ali, Head, Group Corporate Communications and Marketing, AmBank Group at the opening ceremony which was attended by Y.A.M Tunku Tan Sri Imran Ibni Almarhum Tuanku Ja’afar, Chairman, SportExcel. 

“SportExcel firmly believes that the future of Malaysian sports lies in the sustainable junior sport development programme. We at AmBank Group share the same vision as we believe that by giving support to youth training programmes, it will unearth new talents. I believe we have evidence of that in many of our young golfers who have shown vast improvement, hence, grassroots development and excellence related programmes such as the 12th AmBank Group-SportExcel International Junior Golf Championship 2017 will go a long way in developing and elevating sports to a higher level in the country,” added Syed Anuar.
