PETALING JAYA: Like a pair of high-prized fighters, Park In-bee (EPA pic, below) and Lydia Ko will duke it out for the no. 1 golf world ranking when the Sime Darby LPGA Malaysia tees off on Thursday.

South Korean In-bee, the current world No. 1, and New Zealand’s Lydia, the world No. 2, go head-to-head at the US$2mil (RM8.4mil) tournament this week knowing it’s a case of winner takes all.
