JAKARTA (JP): Number three in the world Nick Faldo of England
will head the star-studded premier golf event in Indonesia
scheduled to tee off at Bali Golf and Country Club in Nusa Dua on
Nov. 3.

South African David Frost, ninth ranked Colin Montgomerie of
Britain and Vijay Singh of Fiji now ranked number 17, will vie
for US$345,000 in the Alfred Dunhill Asian Masters.
"The beautiful island of Bali was elected to host the new
tournament as it has been able to attract many of world's top
players," said Richard Cole of Alfred Dunhill Pacific yesterday.
After two rounds the field will be reduced to 60 players and
the winner will collect a cash prize of $62,100.
Seventy of the 120 players in the field will come from the
Australasian Tour and 40 from Asia including stars like Frankie
