MORE than 100 golfers enjoyed a great day out at the MST Golf Srixon ilovegolf Tournament, staged at Tropicana Golf and Country Resort, where some top quality golf was played.
The event in Petaling Jaya, Selangor was held exclusively for members of MST Golf’s ilovegolf loyalty programme, who were joined by Dunlop Srixon Sports Asia managing director Takuya Ono, MST Golf managing director KP Low and other guests.
One of the event highlights was that each player received a Srixon SMU stand bag along with a sleeve of Srixon Q-Star golf balls.
The participants were greeted by good course conditions as they teed off shotgun-style under cloudy morning skies.
At the end of play, Alex Yau was the player who managed to figure out the fast and tricky Tropicana greens best, signing in a System 36 nett Stableford score of 39 points to top the standings.
For his victory, Yau took home a Cleveland Launcher XL driver and a dozen Srixon Z-Star Diamond golf balls.
The runner-up honours went to Kevin Chang with 38 points, edging out third-placed Jung Young Guk and three other golfers on countback.

Chang won himself a Cleveland Launcher XL Halo fairway wood and Srixon Z-Star Diamond golf balls, while Jung’s prizes were a Cleveland Launcher XL Halo hybrid and Srixon Z-Star Diamond golf balls.
The novelty holes saw rare ties in two contests. Mohamad Fauzi Che Hayun and Abdul Muhaymin both hit tee shots that ended up 10 feet and seven inches from the flag at Hole 3 to jointly win the Nearest-to-Pin competition.
They took home Srixon Z-Star golf balls and a RM400 MST Golf voucher each.
The other tie came in the Nearest-to-Line contest at Hole 7, where the drives of both Steven Saw and Rick Choy finished right on the line to win them a Srixon Boston bag each.
The Longest Drive contest at Hole 18 produced a clear winner in Muhammad Waliyuddin Mohd Sukree, who smashed a buggy track-assisted drive of 300 metres to win a Cleveland Launcher XL Halo fairway wood and a RM400 MST Golf voucher.
The hole-in-one prize of a set of Cleveland Launcher XL Halo irons was offered at all four par-3s but unfortunately, no one managed to score an ace.
In a generous gesture, Ono offered the irons as a prize in the lucky draw.
The lucky draw overall saw 21 participants get chosen to win Srixon and XXIO products, Garmin Approach golf watches and as the main prize, the Cleveland Launcher XL Halo iron set.
