Kuala Kubu Bharu, Malaysia, August 24, 2008: The Faldo Series Asia will visit Beringin Golf Club in Kuala Kubu Bharu for the first time when the third Malaysia Final tees off on the slightly later date of October 25-26, 2008.
The field in Malaysia will feature many of the country's brightest stars, including qualifiers from some of the top amateur and junior tournaments in 2008. Already in the line-up are Kenneth De Silva, Sharon Lau and 2007 finalist Gavin Kyle Green and they will be among the favourites to qualify for the Faldo Series Asia Grand Final, to be hosted by Nick Faldo himself at China's Mission Hills Golf Club in March 2009.
Supported by Mission Hills, The R&A and UBS, boys and girls aged 12 to 21 will experience strict tournament conditions at Beringin in Selangor, just over an hour from Kuala Lumpur, while off the course they will receive expert advice from a guest speaker. Children from the local community will also be attending to receive free coaching and watch the competitors in action, part of Faldo's drive to simultaneously create access to the sport at a grass-roots level.
Also backed by Korn/Ferry International, the Malaysia Final is one of 12 Faldo Series Asia events in 2008/2009, including four in China plus one in each of Chinese Taipei, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam.
Endorsed by the Asian Tour and the Asia Pacific Golf Confederation, over 60 competitors from across the region will qualify for the Faldo Series Asia Grand Final. As well as spending time with the six-time Major winner, the finalists will be hoping to emulate the 2007 champion, 17-year-old Rashid Khan of India who earned himself a place in the international Faldo Series Grand Final in Brazil and, courtesy of the Asian Tour, a start in the Volvo Masters Asia and a scholarship to stage one of Asian Tour qualifying school.
