KUALA LUMPUR − The national golf squad is on track to meet its silver and bronze medal targets at the SEA Games in Hanoi, Vietnam, next month, says Malaysian Golf Association president Tan Sri Mohd Anwar Mohd Nor.
He said the medal target was based on the performance of athletes, who have shown vast improvements during training.
Golfer Ervin Chang, who is targeted to win at least the bronze, is seen to have a good chance after having gained valuable experience in the previous two editions of the SEA Games.
“At the time, he managed to finish in fourth position so with his current performance, I am confident he can have a podium finish,” he told reporters here.
Anwar said the squad would leave early on May 4 to adjust to the competition venue before competing from May 13-18.
Meanwhile, national coach Shairul Erwin Samsudin is confident that his charges will be able to meet the target.
“We have a chance to compete for medals so I hope all the players can compete at their best throughout the competition,” he said.
The team comprises male athletes Ervin, K. Rhaasrikanesh, Marcus Lim and A. Nateeshvar while Jeneath Wong, Mirabel Ting and Ng Jing Xuen make up the women squad.
The Hanoi SEA Games is scheduled to take place from May 12-23. – Bernama, April 27, 2022
