KUALA LUMPUR, May 22 (Bernama) -- The 32nd edition of the Malaysian Ladies Amateur Open (MLAO) will serve as the final warm-up event for 28th SEA Games women's golfers.

The 54-hole championship will be held at Templer Park Country Club from May 26-28.

Malaysian Ladies Golf Association (MALGA)executive director, Datuk Rabeahtul Aloya Abbas said she hoped that the local lasses will step up to the challenge and emerge triumphant.

"This is one of the last events before the SEA Games and it will give our national team a chance to gauge their opponents and get themselves into competitive mode.

"Our hope is that our ladies, especially the team heading to the SEA Games, will be motivated to regain the individual and team titles that we lost last year," she said in a statement, Friday.

The domestic charge will be spearheaded by Genevieve Ling I-Rynn, Loy Hee Ying and seasoned campaigner Nur Durriyah Damian; who will carry the nation's challenge at the biennial games next month.

A total of 103 competitors from across the Asia-Pacific region will participate in the three-day tournament, which will see four categories being contested in the gross and nett divisions respectively alongside the team event.
