PETALING JAYA: Malaysian golfer Ashley Lau will return to the United States on a buoyant note after another solid outing — a top 30 finish at the Singapore Women’s Open.

Ashley made the most of the sponsor’s invitation she received for the Korean Ladies Professional Golf Association (KLPGA) Tour season opener, wrapping up her campaign with a 71 to finish in a tie for 27th on a five-under 283 total at the Tanah Merah Country Club yesterday.
