The Johnnie Walker Cambodian Open will continue to spur the growth of golf in the emerging nation when the tournament returns for its third edition from November 19 to 22, 2009 to be played at Sofitel Angkor Phokeethra Golf & Spa Resort Siem Reap.

The US$300,000 full-field Asian Tour event was inaugurated in 2007 where it entered Asian golf annals as the first ever professional golf tournament to be held in Cambodia.

Officials believe the growing stature of the national championship will further strengthen the foundation for budding amateur golfers in the country to experience and aspire to compete against the top stars from the Asian Tour at the picturesque Phokeethra Country Club.

Asian Tour Executive Chairman, Kyi Hla Han, lauded Johnnie Walker for its continued support towards the development of professional golf in Cambodia and across the region.
