Asian Development Tour Order of Merit leader Ahmad Baig of Pakistan will be hoping to carry his fine form into this week’s USD175,000 PKNS Selangor Masters, which tees off tomorrow at Kelab Golf Seri Selangor.

Coming off an impressive victory at the Nam A Bank Vietnam Masters, the 26-year-old is hoping to atone for missing the cut in the last two editions of the PKNS Selangor Masters, which is co-sanctioned by the Asian Development Tour (ADT) and the domestic Toyota Tour. Baig has already won twice on the ADT this year and is a clear leader on the developmental circuit’s Order of Merit.

“My swing wasn’t very good the first two times I played here, so I didn’t do well. I’ve been working extremely hard this year and been practising a lot to improve my game, and I’m glad the results are showing with two Asian Development Tour wins,” said Baig.

“I’m looking forward to playing Seri Selangor again. The course is a little narrow, so my gameplan will not be too aggressive – just find the fairways and get on the greens. Chipping and putting is also tough here, so you need to really focus on the short game,” added the 26-year-old from Lahore.

The challenging Seri Selangor course will once again play as a par-70 layout this week, with the par-five 5th and par-five 18th holes converted to long par-fours for the tournament. Crafted by Australian architect Ross Watson, the popular public course opened for play in 1998 and has received much acclaim for its strategic design and speedy greens.
