Chinese Taipeiās Lin Wen-tang believes next monthās CIMB Niaga Indonesian Masters presented by Enjoy Jakarta Golf will provide his countryās finest talents with the opportunity to excel on the world stage.
A six-time Asian Tour winner, the 40-year-old has enjoyed a distinguished career on the regionās premier Tour.
He was also in contention at last yearās CIMB Niaga Indonesian Masters but had to settle for a tied-fifth finish at the countryās premier golf tournament.
āIt’s good to see a lot of younger players coming up from Chinese Taipei. Players like Hung Chien-yao and Chan Shih-chang. I think it’s only a matter of time before they shine on the Asian Tour.
āThey are all playing at the CIMB Niaga Indonesian Masters and hopefully by sharing my experiences with them, we can all do well there,ā said Lin.
The CIMB Niaga Indonesia Masters will return to the Royale Jakarta Golf Club where former world number one Lee Westwood of England and Denmarkās Thomas Bjorn are expected to provide the fireworks alongside the regionās best players from April 23-26.Ā
Lin, who is no stranger to success having made his name as one of Chinese Taipeiās most successful players, is looking forward to the challenge with renewed vigour.
āGolf is 70% hard work and 30% luck. I remember playing well at that course last year. I was in contention but a pity I couldn’t hang in there to win.
āThe Royale Jakarta is a course that suits my game. There are a couple of tricky holes but you stick to your game and stay focused, it’s not difficult to score,ā said Lin.
Sanctioned by the Asian Tour and the PGA Tour of Indonesia, the CIMB Niaga Indonesian Masters Presented by Enjoy Jakarta Golf will feature 24 Indonesian golfers, 20 professionals from the PGA Tour of Indonesia and four of Indonesiaās top amateurs who will compete in the 150 player field over 72 holes of individual stroke play.
