PETALING JAYA: Malaysian golfer Ashley Lau is keeping her cool before teeing off for the Maybank Championship today at the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club.

As excited as she is to play in front of her family and home friends, Ashley, who primarily plays in the United States, isn’t letting the eagerness get ahead of her as she’s staying level-headed before the tournament.
