: Malaysian teen talent Andrew Yap is set to savour his biggest ever tournament experience when he tees off in this week’s 14th Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship at The Royal Melbourne Golf Club.
Having not played Royal Melbourne before, Yap has not set any result-oriented goals for the championship which starts on Thursday. A full field of 120 amateurs from 40 countries will vie for the prestigious Asia-Pacific Amateur title, which provides an invitation to the 2024 Masters Tournament at Augusta National Golf Club and exemptions into The 152nd Open at Royal Troon and the 129th Amateur Championship, provided the champion retains his amateur status. The runner-up will earn a spot into The Open Qualifying Series with the opportunity to earn a place in The 152nd Open.
Leading this year’s field is Japan’s Yuta Sugiura, who is 15th in the WAGR. Other top-ranked competitors include No. 17 Wenyi Ding of China, No. 30 Kazuma Kobori of New Zealand and No. 51 Yunhe “Sampson” Malaysia’s best finish in the Asia-Pacific Amateur is seventh, achieved by Ervin Chang in 2018 at Sentosa Golf Club in Singapore and by Mohd Iszaimi Ismail in the inaugural 2009 championship at Mission Hills Golf Club in China.
