PETALING JAYA: Mirabel Ting has made the golfing world sit up and take notice after becoming the first Malaysian to finish first in the Epson Tour Race for the Card standings.

On Sunday, the 20-year-old rookie pro came agonisingly close to collecting her first six-figure paycheque after finishing runner-up in the prestigious Epson Tour Championship at Indian Wells in the United States.
