From the time of the first Malaysian Open in 1962 till now, no Malaysian has won the event.
But in 1994, when the event was held at the Old Course at The Royal Selangor Golf Club, a Malaysian player, P. Gunasegaran came so close, losing only on the eighth playoff hole.
Guna learnt his golf at the 9-hole golf course at Kuala Kubu Bahru as a youngster. His talent was recognized at some tournaments and he was brought into the training squad of the Malaysian Golf Association.
At that time, he played off a handicap of 4, he was tall and strong and largely self taught. But with good coaching by teachers like Alan Murray and others, Guna improved quickly and was good enough to represent the country on many occasions.
By the time he turned professional, he was good enough to win several local professional tournaments.
The 1994 Malaysian Open was the 25th time the event was held at The Royal Selangor Golf Club. It attracted a very strong field of Americans, Canadians, Europeans, Australians, New Zealanders, Asians and even South Americans.

What's Next For Carson Palmer?
Carson Palmer is an old football player in the prime of his golf life. The 2002 Heisman Trophy winner, now 37, recently took a month to decide if his body could survive another NFL season at quarterback. The answer, to the relief of Arizona Cardinals fans, was yes, and so Palmer’s dream of playing golf every day will wait a little longer. “Some guys wonder if they’ll get bored with golf in retirement, but I don’t envision ever having that problem,” says Palmer, who is “always up for 36 in a heartbeat” when being a dad to two young kids allows it.
