Australia has named its teams for the defence of the Asia-Pacific Senior Amateur in Vietnam later this month.

The Australian team is power-packed with defending women’s champion Sue Wooster from Victoria leading the charge.

Australia won both men’s and women’s titles as well as the overall teams title in Vietnam last year, plus both individual championships.

Last year’ s men’s individual winner, Victorian James Lavender, was unavailable.

The event is being held from 30 October at Vinpearl Golf Hai Phong, Vietnam. TEAM:
