In 2008, Danny Chia showed his class by recording a wire-to-wire victory in the Mercedes-Benz Masters Thailand – the season-ending tour Championship on the Mercedes-Benz Tour.

That trophy sits alongside the one he claimed in 2007 at the International Championship in Jakarta – the very first event staged on the fledgling circuit.

At the Maybank Malaysian Open in 2008 and 2009, he led an illustrious field going into the weekend. The pressure of becoming the first Malaysian to win the national open however proved insurmountable then but he is certainly poised to take the title in the near future.

He boasts an outstanding resume that includes multiple titles in Malaysia at both professional and amateur levels, plus two appearances in the British Open and two trips to the World Cup.

In 2002, Chia made history by becoming the first Malaysian to win a tour title in Asia when he claimed a two-stroke victory at the Acer Taiwan Open. He was seven shots off the pace heading into the final round but fired a 68 to pip overnight leader Hsieh Yu-shu.

Chia picked up golf from his father, a businessman, when he started following him to the driving range, and grew up adoring Jack Nicklaus.
