THE ROYAL SELANGOR GOLF CLUB SET TO HOST THE 2011 FALDO SERIES MALAYSIA CHAMPIONSHIP


The Malaysian Golf Association announced today that the oldest surviving golf club in Malaysia, the prestigious Royal Selangor Golf Club will host the sixth edition of the Faldo Series Malaysia Championship from October 18-20.

Following last year's event in Perangsang Templer Golf Club, the Faldo Series heads to the Royal Selangor Golf Club, located at the heart of the capital city of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, where a strong field of over 80 talented golfers aged 12 to 21 are expected to compete for a place in the sixth Faldo Series Asia Grand Final in China next year.

Played over 54 holes, the mixed field in Malaysia will be divided into five age categories, three for boys (Under-21, Under-18 and Under-16) and two for girls (Under-21 and Under-16), and the winner of each category will qualify for the Grand Final on the Faldo Course at Mission Hills Golf Club in Shenzhen. This year, the Faldo Series Malaysia Championship has been included in the R&A World Amateur Golf Ranking which ranks the world's top amateurs and juniors.

Underwritten by Faldo himself, the Faldo Series Asia is supported by major partners ISPS, Mission Hills and The R&A as well as official golf wear partner Alpine Creations. It is also endorsed by the Asian Tour and the Asia Pacific Golf Federation (APGC).

Further to the success of the Faldo Series Europe, launched in 1996, the Faldo Series Asia was established in 2006 to help develop the region's next generation of champions.

Over 30 Faldo Series tournaments now take place in more than 25 countries across the UK, Europe, South America, the Middle East and Asia and former winners include Rory McIlroy, Nick Dougherty, Marc Warren, Yani Tseng, Melissa Reid and Florentyna Parker, all of whom have since won on Tour.

The 2010/2011 Faldo Series Asia schedule features a record 17 tournaments in 12 different countries including six in mainland China plus others in The Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam, Bahrain, Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, Japan, Chinese Taipei, Indonesia and Thailand.
