Kuala Lumpur 2001 SEA Games gold medal winner in golf, Shaaban Hussin, believes local golfers have the talent to contribute a gold medal in golf during the Kuala Lumpur 2017 SEA Games next month.
Shaaban said the players have been undergoing intensive training to repeat the 2001 feat.
"I am confident that playing on a familiar course - Mines Resort & Golf Club - would be an added advantage to our players in their quest to win the gold medal after 16 years. I believe we have a good chance of winning the gold medal," Shaaban told Bernama when met at the Seri Selangor Golf Club (KGSS) here today.
Malaysia has never failed to win the gold medal when hosting the SEA Games in 1989 and 2001.
