KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 29 — Liyana Durisic emerged as the best-performing Malaysian in the opening round of the Maybank Championship 2026 after carding an impressive five-under 67 to finish tied for sixth place at the Kuala Lumpur Golf and Country Club (KLGCC) here today.
The 25-year-old produced a bogey-free round, sinking five birdies on the first, third, fourth, 13th and 15th holes to put herself in a strong position heading into the second round.
“Today went really well. My ball striking was really good, and I managed to minimise mistakes by making sure I missed in the right spots.
“I also managed to make two putts when needed, which helped me put together a good round,” she said to the media after the first round today.
