00:00In the meantime, golf amateur player Mirabel Ting set her dreams to come true at the Los Angeles Olympic Stadium in 2028
00:13after showing off her skills in the last day of the 2024 Gulf Maybank Games in the 12th division.
00:19Despite admitting that her emotions were a bit disturbed because of her late father's death,
00:23however, the spirit of her family supported her to fight for her dream, especially in the 18th hole.
00:31Mirabel scored 70 points, 2 under par with 4 birdies and 2 bogeys,
00:35while watching her finish the competition with the winner of the Celine Boutier edition.
00:53You know, to be able to do this in front of home crowd, having the support, it means a lot to me.
00:58And, you know, my dad will be looking above me and I think he will be proud of me today.
01:04Yeah, definitely. That's one of the goals.
01:07And, you know, one of my, she's kind of like a friend to me, but I call my sister Michelle.
01:14She plays in the Olympics in 2016 Rio, and I was talking to her back then, probably like a week ago or two,
01:21that, you know, I'm aiming for 2028 Los Angeles Paralympics.
01:26And, after I graduate, 2026 in Florida State.
01:32Ashley Lau, a friend of the country, also failed to maintain a convincing performance on Saturday
01:37and had to be disappointed to be tied at 22nd place with a record of 71 points, 1 under par,
01:42in the closing period, 3 birdies and 2 bogeys.
01:46Very slow day, didn't really make a lot of putts, but yeah, just happy with the way I finished today.
01:55There were a couple, yeah, I missed a couple 10, 12-footers, but you're not always going to make all of them, so yeah.
02:04The winner of the PGA Women's Golf Championship 2023, Yin Roning,
02:08scored a clean sheet on the last day of the competition,
02:12scoring 65 points, 7 under par, and 7 birdies,
02:15as well as the winner of the Golf Maybank LPGA 2024.
02:19With three consecutive wins this year in the LPGA,
02:23Roning has a strong mental defense as the key to what she has achieved so far.
02:30Just aim for the tiger head over there, and I just ride on my target,
02:35and then I just try to putt here.
02:38I know if Gino makes it, there's nothing I can do, so I just try to make two putts here.
02:44I would say my mental, I would say I learned a lot from early this year,
02:54because I was pretty stressful, because I had such a great year last year,
02:58I was wondering if I can win again, what if I can't, such things,
03:03but I think I just really learned that I just need to enjoy myself out here,
03:11and have fun, be happy, be happy to get there, so that's what I do.
