LYDIA Ko, the women’s world number one, is due in South-East Asia for the brief early-season Asian Swing in Thailand and Singapore over the next few weeks.

And while Ko and Company don’t have a tournament to play in Malaysia just yet – this country has not hosted an event of that calibre in five years – there is a growing likelihood that several top LPGA Tour players could return to Kuala Lumpur for competition as early as end of the year.
