"This is a reflection of our strength at the regional level and is an evaluation material to move better towards the 2025 SEA Games," said Aang.
Aang also highlighted the quite challenging field conditions and weather in Taiwan, as well as changes to match rules from 12 fairway to six per session, and potential changes to 72 fairway in the future.
