Motoa to host 5th PP Cup
JAKARTA: A total cash prize of Rp 150 million (US$19,000) is
on offer for 30 pro golfers when they compete in the 5th Pemuda
Panca Sila Cup from Oct. 21 to Oct. 24.
Qualifiers will comprise those who made the cut of the four-
day annual championships to be held at the par-72 Matoa Nasional
Golf Club in Jakarta.
"The cash prize is not bad at all for local golfers as the
event is part of our efforts to provide them with a challenging
competition," Agus Triyono, the general secretary of the
Indonesian Pro Golf Association (PGPI) said.
A field of more than 140 pro, senior and amateur golfers will
participate in the competition at the par-72, 6,402-meter course,
which has hosted a number of major local and international
events, including the 1997 SEA Games. --JP

standing 0-8-1 in nine games against the Stars. The 10-year
veteran has wins against every other NHL team.
Dallas had just 18 shots on the night, while Washington tested

Exhausted Henin out of Linz
ZURICH, Switzerland: Belgian Justine Henin-Hardenne has pulled
out of next week's WTA tournament in Linz due to exhaustion.
The world number two, who won the tournament last year beating
American Alexandra Stevenson in the final, would have been the
top seed this time round.
"Unfortunately, I have no option but to rest after this week
to ensure that I will be 100-percent for the WTA Championships in
three weeks' time," said the French and US Open winner.
"It's going to take everything I have just to survive and get
through this week in Zurich. Since the US Open I have been
feeling more and more physically as well as mentally tired that
it has got to the point where I must take a break from playing."
