So, how do captains choose their pairs It seems S.S.P. Chawrasia and Kiradech Aphibarnrat, who practice with each other in Europe, told Jeev Milkha Singh that they would like to pair up soon after the team was announced late last year. They also played one of the rounds together at the Thailand Golf Champion-ships, in December and decided they were ‘made for each other’. And it provided a win on Saturday.Darren Clarke asked each player, which were their three top choices to play with and it seems Andy Sullivan and Shane Lowry put down each others’ names.Clarke revealed, “I asked all the players, give me three names, and Sully and Shane had their names at the top of each other’s lists. They are both carefree young kids and they really enjoy each other’s company.”

Many flavours of Asia One of the best things about being part of the Asia team is the diversity in its team members. Communication may be a problem of sorts, but the flip side is ‘variety of food.’If you are a connoisseur, the Asia team room is the place to be. Captain Jeev Milkha Singh and his wife Kudrat have tried to make sure that that the lunch menu suits all kinds of palates, and dinner, a team affair, has seen food from specialty restaurants.Before the tournament started, Jeev tweeted and asked Kuala Lumpur-based fans for suggestions on the best eating joint in different cuisines.

Brothers with clubs Malaysians Danny Chia and Nicolas Fung, the remain the only unbeaten players in Team Asia for they halved both their fourball and foursomes matches.
