Tournament to decide Putra Cup players

JAKARTA: The Indonesia Golf Association (PGI) will organize an amateur golf tournament to be held at the Gading Raya Golf Club, in Serpong, Banten from Oct.16 until from 19.

"National men golfers Iin Setiawan, Indra Hermawan and Suprapto will take part in the tournament to enhance the competition," newly elected PGI chairman Haryanto Dhanutirto told reporters on Wednesday.

"Our women golfers Ani Iman, Titi Puryanti and Sri Retno Purwandari will also participate in the tournament," he added.

The national golfers won a gold medal in the women's team and bronze medal in the men's team events at the Kuala Lumpur 2001 Southeast Asian (SEA) Games last month.

Meanwhile, PGI secretary general Kusnan Ismukanto said the tournament would also serve as a selection process to name golfers for the 2001 Putra Cup to be held in November in Sabah, Malaysia. -- JP
