Indonesia's Reza Targets Repeat Faldo Series Success

8 December 2011: Fahmi Reza will be targeting a successful defense of his title when the fifth Faldo Series Indonesia Championship returns to Damai Indah Golf’s BSD Course on January 16-17, 2012. The 20-year-old from Jakarta followed last year’s six-shot victory with a top-20 finish in the Faldo Series Asia Grand Final, the best performance by an Indonesian in the 80-strong field.

Reza will join more than 70 of his country’s leading golfers aged 12 to 21 in the 2012 Indonesia Championship at the BSD Course in Jakarta. With the field divided into five age-groups – three for boys and two for girls – the winner of each division over two rounds will join Sir Nick Faldo for the sixth Grand Final at Mission Hills Golf Club in China on March 14-16, 2012.

In a bid to further support golf development in Indonesia, competitors will also receive expert advice from guest speakers during the tournament, while an audience of younger children from the local community will receive free golf instruction and then watch the competitors in action.

The 2011/2012 Faldo Series Asia schedule features 17 tournaments in 13 different countries including five in mainland China plus others in The Philippines, Vietnam, India, Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong, Brunei, Japan, Chinese Taipei, Pakistan, Thailand and Indonesia.

The Faldo Series Asia is supported by major partners ISPS, Mission Hills and The R&A, official golf wear partner UFL and official suppliers TaylorMade and Tricor. It is endorsed by the Asian Tour and the Asia Pacific Golf Federation (APGC).

Established in 1996, 37 Faldo Series tournaments now take place in 27 countries worldwide with more than 5,000 golfers participating each year. Past winners include Major Champions Rory McIlroy and Yani Tseng.
