The VIP flight at Tanjong Puteri Golf and Resort in Pasir Gudang.
THE Bridgestone Asean Amateur Open continued its nationwide tour with the second tournament staged at Tanjong Puteri Golf & Resort in Pasir Gudang, Johor.
This marks the first of three events to be hosted in Johor during the Malaysian leg of the amateur golf series.
At one of Johor's more celebrated golf courses, the 18-hole Stableford tournament brought together 136 amateur players from across the country, and the region.
Players competed not only for category titles but also for a chance to qualify for the grand final at Templer Park Country Club on Oct 31.
The atmosphere was elevated with five attractive hole-in-one prizes, lucky draw giveaways and exclusive goodie bags featuring Bridgestone merchandise, including T-shirts, golf balls, gloves and caps – valued at more than RM500.
'We're thrilled to bring the Bridgestone Asean Amateur Open to Johor, and Tanjong Puteri was the perfect start to our southern stretch,' said Vasudevan Krishnan, managing director of Prestige Golf, the official regional partner of Bridgestone Golf.
'The response has been phenomenal, and we look forward to building even more excitement in Johor as we head to Els Club Desaru and IOI Palm Villa in the coming months.'
The event concluded with a vibrant prize presentation ceremony, recognising the top scorers, including nett champion Yar Zar and gross champion Mohd Afiff Hadief.
The Bridgestone series continues with the next leg scheduled for Miri Golf Club in Sarawak on July 26 and Permaipura Golf & Country Club in Kedah on Aug 3.
