“I know that I've got a lot of work to do these last few events, but for me to just be in this position and have the opportunity to go for the Player of the Year again and all those other things that come at the end of the season, it's been really cool.”

Ariya Jutanugarn said:
“I'm not really worried about the Money List. I feel a lot more confident - I just keep playing and have fun golf and not worry about the Money List. It is good for me to have a chance but I'm not really worried about it. Of course I want to win something because that is really an honor for me but I just want to have fun and be happy on the course and that's what I need to do.”

Kelly Tan said:
“From the first year, Sime Darby has always been a great support with the junior program and helped grow young juniors, and I'm not surprised to see nine girls out here. I just hope and wish everybody the best of luck and a great week.

“I've had a good start of the season this year. Really happy with where I was going, but the last two months have been a little tough but there's a lot of events coming and I'm just trying to cope with the travel. But so far, I'm pretty happy with what I've done this year, and super excited for next year. I'm just going to keep working on the same stuff.”

Asked about her choice of clubs, Brooke Henderson said:
“I switched to a 48-inch driver this year, which is the longest legal limit that you can have on the LPGA Tour. I've always kind of played with longer clubs since I was a little girl, and I found that I'm pretty accurate off the tee. I hit a lot of fairways and I was looking for a little bit of extra length, so I decided to go with the 48-inch driver and see if I could maybe catch up to Ariya over there and maybe have a little bit shorter clubs in the fairways.

Speaking at the press conference, Managing Director of Sime Darby Property, Dato’ Ir. Jauhari Hamidi, said:
“The tournament is delighted to welcome the world’s best female golfers to TPC Kuala Lumpur. We have witnessed some wonderful tournaments over the years, but I’m confident that 2016 will turn out to be a particularly special year. We look forward to four days of intense competition and excitement on course and a lot of fun off it. We wish all the players the very best of luck and we look forward to crowning a deserving champion on Sunday.I would like to extend my thanks to the players from the LPGA Tour for coming to Malaysia and competing in this wonderful event. They are fine ambassadors for the game and fantastic role models for the next generation of golfers here in Malaysia,” continued  Dato’ Jauhari.
