Jakarta, 1 May 2013 - Tomorrow morning, when the 3rd edition of the CIMB Niaga Indonesian Masters goes underway, there will be 24 Indonesians doing their best to shine in the shadow of golfing greats like Ernie Els, Darren Clarke, Bernd Wiesberger or Thongchai Jaidee. Even though that odds of winning are against them, the past has shown that local players can pose a serious challenge with Rory Hie twice finishing second in big tournaments on home soil.The Indonesian PGA has 20 players represented, being Andik Mauludin, George Gandranata, Maan Nasim, Benny Kasiadi, Indra Hermanwan, J. Dermawan, Junaidi Ibrahim, Denny A. Wijaya, Hendry Nasim, Ilyassyak, Jamel Ondo, Hardjito, Ramadhan Alwie, Roby Sugara, Andi Atmo, Ade Sebul, Heri Kurniasandi, Hamzah Rachmadi, Nasin Surachman and Ian Andrew.
Meanwhile PGI (Indonesian Golf Association) has selected 4 amateur players to participate. They are Kevin C. Akbar, Aditya Novanto, Cahyo Adhitomo and Adi Bramantyo.
We wish all the Indonesian players a successful tournament and we'll keep a close eye on them, hopefully all the way through to the final on Sunday. Everyone who wants to cheer on the 'local boys' is encouraged to come to Royale Jakarta Golf Club to see how they are doing. Proceeds of ticket sales go to Habitat for Humanity Indonesia, so your presence will not only support the Indonesian players, but also the lesser privileged through Habitat's projects.
We hope to see you all there.
