1 vs 1 - RM5,000,000 Showdown!

 Strap yourselves in golf fans. The event you have all been waiting for is finally HAPPENING!

Shrouded in secrecy, Sarawak Post can now report that the prestigious 1 vs 1 match up will be played on 1st June 2022 at Kelab Golf Sarawak ("KGS"). 

Seasoned professionals Aaron a.k.a KL and  Alphonsus a.k.a Poonsood will be putting it all on the line for the grand prize of RM5,000,000.00 

The match originally slated for a 2019 date was shelved due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the paltry initial pot of RM3,000,000.00. When interviewed in 2019 Alphonsus had this to say.

"RM3,000,000 only? Are you kidding me? I don't even get out of bed for less than RM5,000,000." 

Aaron echoed similar sentiments stating he would rather spend his time competing in the U.S Open at Pebble Beach, which promised a purse of $12,500,000.00. 

Title Organizer, AREUOKEH Sdn. Bhd. spokesperson Andrew. B confirmed the new pot prize in yesterday's press conference. 

"Yes, in hindsight the initial pot size of RM3,000,000.00 was far too small. We were very   fortunate to secure an additional RM2,000,000 from a generous donor who wishes to remain anonymous." 

"We are also very happy to announce that the match up will be officiated by renown professional Ming Geh."

Aaron will be without his regular caddy but will instead be giving this once in a lifetime opportunity to super fan Gordo who jumped at the chance to be on the bag. He could only gush:

"I couldn't believe it when the organizer told me. I had to pinch myself. I am looking forward to being on the bag for Aaron and hope I won't let him down!" 

Alphonsus on the other hand will have Andrew.B on the bag. 

While both golfers are seasoned professionals, Alphonsus may have an advantage with the match up being played at his home course KGS. When asked about his chances of winning, Alphonsus announced:

"KGS is like my backyard and playground. I have been playing here for so many years and I can probably play this course blindfolded. So what do you think are my chances of winning?"

To the same question, Aaron said:

"Come on. I am a seasoned pro. You can ask me to play on a paddy field and I will still shoot under par. Doesn't matter where the match is played. I will let    my golf do the talking".

So there you have it folks. June cannot come quickly enough! 

Ticket prices and spectator details will be confirmed soon. Watch this space!
