GEORGE TOWN: The organisers of the IJM Land 4th Penang Women’s Squash Open 2016 see the downgrading of the tournament from a Tour 10 to a Tour 5 event as “a blessing in disguise”.
The lower status is set to keep more foreign players away from the tournament, which will be held on May 31- June 4 at the Nicol David International Squash Centre in Penang, as it offers fewer ranking points.
