Hokie Golf Preview - Bandar Malaysia Open
For week 10, the only spot to find pro Hokie golfers is Shah Alam, Malaysia where Scott Vincent and Sarit Suwannarut will both play in the Malaysia Open this week on the Par 72/ 7,016 yards Kota Permai Golf and Country Club. This is Sarit's first start as a card carrying member of the Asian Tour.
This event is back after a hiatus, the last time this event was played was 2015. It has a $1 million purse, with $180,000 to the winner.
Here are Vincent's comments from the pre-tournament press conference:
This is probably one of the best courses I’ve played in Malaysia. It’s in great conditions. I am very excited. My game needs a bit of work at the moment but it’s good to be back out and playing again.
It was nice to see my good friend Benjamin Follett-Smith coming through the Qualifying School two weeks ago. We’ve been hoping that he’s going to play like that because he’s very talented and he has got a lot of potential.
I am very excited for him to be out here and hopefully we can work together and push each other on. I have been trying to recruit a few players and it has taken a while for someone to come over to Asia and give it a try. It’s nice to have some company with Benjamin securing his Tour card now.
