SINGAPORE – National golfer Ryan Ang did not have high expectations going into the final stage of the 2024-25 PGA Tour of Australasia (PGATA) Qualifying School earlier this week, as he was not in his best form.

The 24-year-old also had to deal with tough conditions while carrying his own bag at Moonah Links’ Open Course in Victoria, where he navigated winds of nearly 50kmh and heavy showers in between the rounds. But the nerves gradually dissipated and on April 12, Ang walked away not just with PGATA status, but also confidence as he eyes a place on some of the sport’s bigger tours.
