A total of 19 nationalities are represented in the field, including two Singaporeans set to compete for the first time in the event’s history, Shannon Tan, who received a sponsor’s invitation, and 16-year-old amateur Chen Xing Tong, who earned her spot by winning the National Qualifying Tournament for the second consecutive year.
