The Lexus Cup will be held in Sinapore it is headed by Grace Parks for the Asian team and Annika with the International team. They each can pick two players as their Captains choice and when these two Captains were announced back in October they were not sure who they would pick as there were many good players to choose.

Each team will consist of 12 players and each team will have four players from the ADT Money List and four players from the Asian and International events from the Rolex Women’s golf rankings. There can also be two sponsor’s exceptions as Toyota Asian Distributors are the sponsor.

The International team won last year 16-8 and Annika remembers the special bond and team spirit that her team had during some intense competition.

She expects her team to be confident and be ready to compete and represent Asia in significant style.
