Royal Trophy postponed

Next week’s Royal Trophy in Bangkok – a match play tournament between teams from Europe and Asia – has been postponed after the country entered a period of mourning following the death of the King’s sister.

Her Royal Highness Princess Galyani Vadhana, elder sister of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej, died yesterday aged 84 after receiving treatment for abdominal cancer in hospital for the last six months.
