Thursday, 03 May 2012

The Vietnam Challenge offered a mere US15,000 in prize monies, a pittance compared to the US500,000 or more that the Premier Super Series offer. But it was rather the opportunity to play the sport on an international stage against their peers - that was the carrot. And of course the possibility, even a remote one, of standing atop the highest rostrum and receive the Champion’s trophy at the end of it all.
