Resourcefulness pays off for Genevieve Ling with new career chapter on Women’s All-Pro Tour in the US | Malay Mail

Resourcefulness pays off for Genevieve Ling with new career chapter on Women’s All-Pro Tour in the USGenevieve flies to Texas on March 31 and will tee up in the WAPT’s 2021 season-opener, the US$50,000 Mackie Construction Abilene Open, on April 6-9 at Abilene Country Club. ― Picture via PargolfKUALA LUMPUR, March 27 ― As they say, “nothing ventured, nothing gained” for Genevieve Ling, that rings loud and true.

While she currently holds cards for the Taiwan LPGA Tour and China LPGA Tour, Genevieve has not been able to compete on either circuit since the Covid-19 pandemic broke out early last year. Her last overseas event was in Taiwan last January while locally, the only professional event she played in 2020 was the PGM MNRB Closed Championship at Glenmarie last September where a tournament-rusty Genevieve missed the cut.

Three years ago, Genevieve became the first Malaysian to play on the Korean LPGA Tour after earning 10 starts on the lucrative circuit by making the final of the golf reality show,. This time around, she will set another milestone for the nation as the first golfer from our shores to compete on the WAPT.

“I have a friend whose family lives in Austin but that’s quite far from where the WAPT tournaments are normally staged, so I’ll probably go and stay with her parents in between events. For the most part I’ll be driving myself to events and staying at the tournament hotels. I’ll also be pulling my own bag on course,” she revealed.

This is not the first time that Genevieve has tried her luck as a professional in the United States. In 2017, she signed up for LPGA Q-School and made it to the second stage of the gruelling qualifier.
