PETALING JAYA: World No. 2 Lydia Ko is set to make her much anticipated debut in Malaysia after the teenage sensation confirmed her participation for the Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia from Oct 9-12.

The New Zealander’s entry will certainly serve as a massive boost to the US$2mil (RM6.38mil) tournament, which enters its fifth year, with American world No. 5 Lexi Thompson returning to defend her crown at the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club (KLGCC).
