Bliss for Liyana as she clinches final ticket for Maybank C’ship

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysian golfer Liyana Durisic (pic) feels blessed to have clinched the fifth and final ticket to the US$3mil (RM12.26mil) Maybank Championship after closing with a two-under 70 at the Asean Qualifier at Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club (KLGCC) yesterday.

Her total of one-under 143 was enough to edge Thailand’s Namo Luangnitikul by a single stroke and, more importantly, earn Liyana a third successive appearance in the 78-player elite field.
