Dear ST reader,
Singaporean Shannon Tan is buoyed by her progress over the past year after the golfer made the cut at the Evian Championship, a far cry from her outing at the Major in 2024 when she missed the weekend action by a massive nine shots.
Meanwhile, two pickleball players in their 50s are delighted to be given a chance to live life as professional athletes after they were among four Singaporeans awarded a one-year contract by apparel brand Sypik.
Separately, the Singapore men and women’s teams are in high spirits after retaining their titles at the South-east Asia Tchoukball Championships in Bangkok with new-look squads.
