Malaysia’s Liyana Azizan Durisic has made the nation proud, winning the 2026 Women’s World Sand Greens Championship in Australia.
The 23-year-old fired seven birdies in the final round to finish five-under par, securing a two-shot victory.
Staying patient throughout a tight leaderboard, Liyana delivered clutch birdies on 16 and 17 to seal the win without even knowing she had taken the lead.
“It’s anyone’s game out there, but today I figured it out,” she said.
A breakthrough moment for Malaysian golf, Liyana now heads into a short break before returning to compete on the Malaysian Tour and Thai LPGA.
