Hillier was victorious in the team event in her mother’s homeland in Thailand last May and finished third in the individual event.

She is one of 26 captains in Singapore this week who have drafted fellow professionals into their team and will be assigned an amateur player for the 36-hole team competition.

A 54-hole individual competition will run in conjunction where Hillier will push for her maiden win on the Ladies European Tour.

Making her 159th start on the LET, the 32-year-old has 15 career top-10 finishes and is coming off her best season to date.

She finished 14th on the moneylist in 2022, her best finish a runner-up result at the Jabra Ladies Open.

In her pursuit of a second team win this week Hillier drafted LET winner Jana Melichova into her team, Wales’ Lydia Hall – a frequent visitor to Australia – rounding out the professional trio.

New Zealand’s world No.1 Lydia Ko had the last pick of the evening and chose LET rookie Aline Krauter from Germany and they will be joined by Sweden’s Lisa Pettersson.

US star Danielle Kang opted for Switzerland’s Kim Metraux and Spain’s Carmen Alonso made up the trio, while 2022 Race to Costa del Sol champion Linn Grant stuck with Sweden and chose Elin Arvidsson with American Kelly Whaley completing the team.

Another regular visitor Down Under, England’s Felicity Johnson, went with an Australasian theme with her team, drafting Perth’s Kirsten Rudgeley along with Kiwi pocket rocket Momoka Kobori.

As Hillier chases a maiden win, South Australian Wade Ormsby is seeking to go back-to-back at the Asian Tour’s The DGC Open in India.

A playoff triumph at the International Series Thailand has elevated Ormsby to second on both the Asian Tour and International Series Order of Merits.

The 42-year-old has recently begun working with coach Grant Field and believes he has helped to unlock some missing pieces of the puzzle.

“We all analyse our games all the time and I feel my new coach has given me a lot of the answers to why I’ve struggled in certain areas,” Ormsby said of the reigning PGA of Australia High Performance National Coach of the Year.

“I’ve had great coaches all the way through my career but sometimes the penny drops and that’s been the case with Grant.

“My No.1 priority is to get my game back to where I can get into tournaments and start to contend for wins.”

Ormsby is one of six Aussies and three Kiwis who will take to Delhi Golf Club from Thursday, 2016 Olympians Marcus Fraser and Scott Hend the first to tee off at 12.50pm and 1pm respectively AEDT.

Cameron Percy and Harrison Endycott are the only two Aussies in the field for the PGA TOUR’s Valspar Championship, there are seven Australians teeing it up at the Hoag Classic on the PGA TOUR Champions and the Cameron Smith-led Ripper GC are in action at LIV Golf Tucson.
