00:00From Bintulu, Sarawak to the 2024 Paris Olympics,
00:10it's a story of a professional golfer, Ashley Lau,
00:14who shared with reporter Sherzad Sani,
00:16the greatest lesson in four days of competition in the world,
00:20and the meaning of being an Olympian,
00:22as well as the desire to compete in the LPGA.
00:30Ashley Lau's last day as an Olympian at the National Golf Course.
00:34For the 2024 Paris Olympics, it can only be a nightmare.
00:37This is because of the sad episode in the 13th hole,
00:41where she scored five goals above par 4,
00:44but in the last hole, she scored an eagle.
00:47And this is the story of how Ashley Lau got up
00:50to make sure that her smile accompanied her
00:53from her sweet memories as the first Olympian for Malaysia.
00:57Yeah, I just wanted to finish strong.
01:01And it was a good feeling to get an eagle.
01:05I just went into the second shot with nothing to lose,
01:08so might as well go for it and try to end it good.
01:13You've endured a lot.
01:15After the first day, you've endured the second day, the third day.
01:18Even today was a tough day for you at the office before the eagle.
01:21So how did you compose yourself?
01:23How did you get back stronger?
01:26Yeah, I think, honestly, throughout the four days,
01:29I played pretty good.
01:31It was just a couple of holes that I messed up.
01:34But, yeah, I mean, my caddie, just after the 9 on that par 4,
01:39my caddie just told me to have fun.
01:42He said, you know, it's your last day.
01:44You only have five more holes.
01:46He said, just go out there and have fun.
01:48And, yeah, that's what I did.
01:50Just keep it calm and just try to finish it strong.
02:21First time, very nervous.
02:23And that's the reason I think the second and third day
02:27she didn't perform well.
02:29But for the last days today, I am really very happy with her here,
02:33except that she had a tragedy on the hole number 13,
02:38which three balls went into the water.
02:40But with the last 18 hole, recover back with the eagle,
02:45I feel she's a very good potential.
02:49And I believe more exposure in this big event like Olympics,
02:54she'll be there one day.
03:14And I feel he is also a very good potential.
03:17And with his short game and also with his approaching,
03:22he is one of the best in Malaysia, I can say so far.
03:26In fact, before we came, our target also 30 only, this position.
03:31And I think we achieved, because he tied 33, we achieved our target.
03:35So we expect him to be better maybe in the next future coming games.
