KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 23 (Bernama) -- World number two woman golfer Lilia Vu is braced for a double onslaught in the four-day 2024 Maybank Championship, which tees off tomorrow (Oct 24).
The American, who will be making her debut at the tournament, is not only worried about the threat posed by a high-quality field but also the challenging layout of the tournament venue - the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club (KLGCC).
But it is the latter that worries her, saying the course demands precision and strategy right from the off.
“There is water a lot around here off the tees. So, (we) kind of have to be diligent and kind of know where the wind is, where you want to place yourself.
“It's also kind of hilly, so you also have to play with different lies on the fairways and different tiers. I think this golf course is going to test the best of your game,” she told a press conference here today.
Reflecting on her performance this season, Vu said she has done well despite her back injury and has vowed to give her best at the Maybank Championship.
“I also had a little bit of a back problem last year but came back from it pretty quickly, so I know that I am resilient. I am looking forward to the future and know that if I just enjoy myself out there anything is possible,” she said.
