Indonesia’s Kevin Akbar (main picture) triumphed last year; no doubt inspired by playing with the owner of Gunung Geulis Country Club Agung Budiman in the team event, which is a three-day best-ball format that sees professionals partnered with local amateurs.
Two courses will be used at Gunung Geulis Country Club, the East and West, as per last year, with a field of 106 professionals participating along with 100 amateurs.
