Maybank Championship: Ashley, Genevieve lead the way for Malaysians
Both players had four birdies and four bogeys on their scorecards for an identical par-72 score for a two-day total of three-under 141, to be joint 41st with six others.
KUALA LUMPUR - Malaysians Ashley Lau and Genevieve Ling emerged as the best local golfers after the second round of the Maybank Championship 2025 at the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club (KLGCC) today.
Both players had four birdies and four bogeys on their scorecards for an identical par-72 score for a two-day total of three-under 141, to be joint 41st with six others.
Ashley birdied the third, eighth, 10th and 16th holes but bogeyed the seventh, 11th, 12th and 15th holes. Genevieve, meanwhile, birdied the third, fifth, eighth and 18th holes and bogeyed the first, 11th, 15th and 16th holes.
Ashley admitted to not striking as well as she did in the opening round, particularly on the greens.
"I guess you can say that putting is my bread and butter. So, I was getting a little frustrated. My putts weren’t dropping.
"My caddie was telling me to 'keep your head up and look up... forget about the last shot and just focus on your next shot, focus on the next hole’,” she said.
Meanwhile, Genevieve said that while the course conditions were largely similar to the first day, the greens, though, were slightly quicker.
"I think I definitely have to go to the range for a little bit just to get like a good feel and then I’m pretty much going to be set,” she said.
As for the other Malaysian golfers, Mirabel Ting ended the day tied for 49th place after posting a three-over 75; Liyana Durisic finished joint 62nd with a four-over 76; and Kelly Tan carded a two-over 74 to be joint 55th. - BERNAMA
